Once Upon a Summertime
Eddie Barclay, Eddy Marnay, Johnny Mercer, Michel Jean Legrand
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 café
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
