Once Upon A Summertime

Once upon a summertime if you recall.

We stopped beside then in a flower stall .

A bunch of bright forget-me-nots

was all I let you buy me

Once upon a summertime just like today.

We laughed the happy afternoon away

and stole a kiss in every street café.

You were sweeter than the blossom on the tree

I was as proud as any girl could be,

as if the major had offered me the key to Paris.

Now, another wintertime has come and gone.

The pigeons feeding in the square have flown,

but I remember when the vespers chime

You loved me once upon a summertime.

You were sweeter than the blossom on the tree

I was as proud as any girl could be,

as if the major had offered me the key to Paris.

Now, another wintertime has come and gone.

The pigeons feeding in the square have flown,

but I remember when the vespers chime

You loved me once upon a summertime.
