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 ever 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 mayor had offered me the key, the key to Paris
Now another winter time 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
Tous les lilas, tous les lilas de mai
n'en finiront, n'en finiront jamais
de faire la fête au cœur des gens qui s'aiment, s'aiment, s'aiment.
Now another winter time 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
