Once upon a summertime
Once upon a summertime, if you recallwe stopped beside a little flower stalla bunch of bright forget-me-nots was allI'd ever let you buy me
Once upon a summertime just like todaywe laughed the happy afternoon awayand stole a kiss at every street café
You were sweeter than the blossoms on the treeI was as proud as any girl could beas if the mayor had offered me the key,the key to Paris
[Chorus:]Now another winter time has come and gonethe pigeons feeding in the square have flownbut I remember when the vespers chimedyou loved me once upon a summertime
Tous les lilas, tous les lilas de Main'en finiront, n'en finiront jamaisde fair' la fête au cœur des gens qui s'aiment, s'aiment
(chorus)
