Ma Première Chanson

Once upon a summertime if you recall
We stopped beside then in a flower stall
A bunch of bright forget-me-nots
Was all I let you buy me

Once upon a summertime
Just like today
We laughed the happy afternoon away
And stole a kiss in every street café
You were sweeter than the blossoms on the tree
I was as proud as any girl could be
As if the major 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

Tous les lilas, tous les lilas de mai
N'en finiront, n'en finiront jamais
De faire la f'te du coeur
Des jeunes qui s'aiment
S'aiment, s'aiment

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
