Once Upon A Summertime

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 at every street cafe

You were sweeter

Than the blossoms on the trees

I was as proud as any girl could be

As if the mayor had offered me

The key to Paris

Now another winter time has come and gone

The pigeons feeding in the square have flown

And I remember when the vespers chimed

You loved me once upon a summertime

You were sweeter

Than the blossoms on the trees

I was as proud as any girl could be

As if the mayor had offered me

The key to Paris

Now another winter time has come and gone

Pigeons feeding in the square have flown

But I remember when the vespers chimed

You loved me once upon a summertime
