verse 1 Once upon a summertime if you recall we stopped beside a little flower stall a bunch of bright forget-me-nots was all you'd let me buy you verse 2 Once upon a summertime like today we laughed the happy afternoon away and stole a kiss in ev'ry street cafe Instrumental verse 3 You were sweeter than the blossoms on the tree I was as proud as any man could be As if the mayor had offered me the key to Paris verse 4 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. verse 4 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.
