Once Upon A Summertime

(Eddie Barclay/Michel Legrand/Eddy Marnay/Johnny Mercer)



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
