once upon a summertime if you recall we stopped beside a little flower stall a bunch of bright forgetmenots was all i d let you buy me once upon a summertime just like today we laughed the happy afternoon away and stole a kiss in every street caf you were sweeter than the blossom on the trees i was as proud as any girl could be as if the mayor had offered me the key to paris now another wintertime has come and gone the pigeons feeding in the square have flown but i remember when the vespers chime you loved me once upon a summertime
