Once upon a summertime if you recall

We stopped beside a little flower stall

A bunch of bright forget-me-nots was all

I'd let you buy me

Once upon a summertime just like today

We laughed the happy afternoon away

And stole a kiss in every street cafe

You were sweeter than the blossoms on the tree

I was as proud as any girl could be

As if the mayor had offered me the key

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

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
