Lyrics of
Mamma Mia - Our Last Summer

Our Last Summer was written by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, members of the Swedish band ABBA, and reflects on a past summer romance in Paris. The lyrics are nostalgic, reminiscing about the time spent together, exploring famous places in the city, and reflecting on youth and love. The song is an example of the bands talent for creating emotionally engaging songs that capture the complexity of human relationships.

I can still recall, our last summer
I still see it all
Walks along the Seine, laughing in the rain
Our last summer, memories that remain

We made our way along the river
And we sat down in the grass by the Eiffel tower
I was so happy we had met
It was the age of no regret
Ohhhh yes
Those crazy years that was the time
Of the flower-power
But underneath
We had a fear of flying
Of growing old
A fear of slowly dying
We took our chance
Like we were dancing our last dance

I can still recall, our last summer
I still see it all
In the tourist jam, round the Notre Dame
Our last summer, walking hand in hand
Paris restaurants, our last summer
Morning croissants
Living for the day, worries far away
Our last summer, we could laugh and play

And now you're working in a bank
A family man, a football fan
And your name is Harry
How dull it seems
Are you the hero of my dreams

I can still recall, our last summer
I still see it all
In the tourist jam, round the Notre Dame
Our last summer, walking hand in hand
I can still recall, our last summer
I still see it all
Walks along the Seine, laughing in the rain
Our last summer, memories that remain
