[Verse 1]
Once upon a summertime if you recall
We stopped beside a little flower store
A bunch of bright forget-me-nots
Was all you'd let me buy you

[Bridge]
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 in the trees
I was as proud as any man could be
As if the mayor had offered me the key to Paris

[Verse 2]
Now, another wintertime 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

[Verse 3]
Now, another wintertime 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
