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

Once upon a summertime just like today
We laughed the happy afternoon away
And stole a kiss at 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 to Paris

Now another winter time has come and gone
Pigeons feeding in the square have flown
And I remember when the vespers chimed
You loved me once upon a summertime

Now another winter time has come and gone
Pigeons feeding in the square have flown

But I remember when the vespers chimed
You loved me once upon a summertime
