Once upon a summertime if you recall
we stopped beside a little flower stall
a bunch of bright forget-me-nots was all
you'd let me buy you
verse 2
Once upon a summertime like today
we laughed the happy afternoon away
and stole a kiss in ev'ry street cafe
Instrumental
verse 3
You were sweeter than the blossoms on the tree
I was as proud as any man could be
As if the mayor had offered me the key to Paris
verse 4
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.
verse 4
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.
