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 in every street cafe 

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 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 

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
