Once Upon a Summertime

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 youOnce upon a summertime, just like today

We laughed the happy afternoon away

And stole a kiss in every street cafeYou were sweeter than the possums in the trees

I was as proud as any man could be

As if the mayor handed me the key to ParisNow, 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
