Lyrics for Song: Our Last Summer
Lyrics for Album: Thank You for the Music [1994]
The summer air was soft and warm
The feeling right, the Paris night
Did its best to please us
And strolling down the Elysee
We had a drink in each cafe
And you
You talked of politics, philosophy and I
Smiled like Mona Lisa
We had our chance
It was a fine and true romance
I can still recall our last summer
I still see it all
Walks along the Seine, laughing in the rain
Our last summer
Memories that remain
We made our way along the river
And we sat down in the grass
By the Eiffel tower
I was so happy we had met
It was the age of no regret
Oh yes
Those crazy years, that was the time
Of the flower-power
But underneath we had a fear of flying
Of getting old, a fear of slowly dying
We took the chance
Like we were dancing our last dance
I can still recall our last summer
I still see it all
In the tourist jam, round the Notre Dame
Our last summer
Walking hand in hand
Paris restaurants
Our last summer
Morning croissants
Living for the day, worries far away
Our last summer
We could laugh and play
And now you're working in a bank
The family man, a football fan
And your name is Harry
How dull it seems
Yet you're the hero of my dreams
I can still recall our last summer
I still see it all
Walks along the Seine, laughing in the rain
Our last summer
Memories that remain
I can still recall our last summer
I still see it all
In the tourist jam, round the Notre Dame
Our last summer
Walking hand in hand
Paris restaurants
Our last summer
Morning croissants
We were living for the day, worries far away

About Our Last Summer
"Our Last Summer" is a poignant track from ABBA's 1994 compilation *Thank You for the Music*, serving as a reflective companion to their earlier hits. The song captures the bittersweet nature of parting ways, utilizing the group's signature melodic pop structure to explore themes of nostalgia and the fleeting nature of youth. While the band is best known for their disco-infused anthems like "Dancing Queen," this recording demonstrates their versatility in addressing more mature, emotional subjects. Released decades after the group's initial breakup, the track stands as a testament to their enduring legacy, offering listeners a chance to revisit their musical journey through a lens of quiet sentiment rather than high-energy celebration. It remains a staple on their discography, resonating with audiences who appreciate the band's ability to blend catchy hooks with meaningful storytelling. |
