Once Upon a Summertime

Part I

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
Once upon a summertime, just like today
We laughed the happy afternoon away
And stole a kiss in every street café

[Verse 3]
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 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 chimed
You loved me once upon a summertime

Part II

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
Once upon a summertime, just like today
We laughed the happy afternoon away
And stole a kiss in every street café

[Verse 3]
You were brighter than the blossoms on the tree
I was as proud as any girl 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 chimed
You loved me once upon a summertime
