Once upon a summertime, if you recall

We stopped beside a little flower stall

A bunch of bright forget-me-nots

Was all I'd ever let you buy me

Once upon a summertime just like today

We laughed the happy afternoon away

And stole a kiss at every street cafe

You were sweeter than the blossoms on the tree

I was as proud as any girl could be

As if the mayor had offered me the key

To Paris
