Our Last Summer
The summer air was soft and warmThe feeling right, the Paris nightDid its best to please usAnd strolling down the ElyseeWe had a drink in each cafeAnd youYou talked of politics, philosophy and ISmiled like Mona LisaWe had our chanceIt was a fine and true romance
I can still recall our last summerI still see it allWalks along the Seine, laughing in the rainOur last summerMemories that remain
We made our way along the riverAnd we sat down in the grassBy the Eiffel towerI was so happy we had metIt was the age of no regretOh yesThose crazy years, that was the timeOf the flower-powerBut underneath we had a fear of flyingOf getting old, a fear of slowly dyingWe took the chanceLike we were dancing our last dance
I can still recall our last summerI still see it allIn the tourist jam, round the Notre DameOur last summerWalking hand in hand
Paris restaurantsOur last summerMorning croissantsLiving for the day, worries far awayOur last summerWe would laugh and play
And now you're working in a bankThe family man, a football fanAnd your name is HarryHow dull it seemsyet you're the hero of my dreams
I can still recall our last summerI still see it allWalks along the Seine, laughing in the rainOur last summerMemories that remainI can still recall our last summerI still see it allIn the tourist jam, round the Notre DameOur last summerWalking hand in handParis restaurantsOur last summerMorning croissantsWe were living for the day, worries far away
