Legrand Affair movie - Once Upon A Summertime lyrics

rate me

Music: Michel Legrand

Lyrics: Johnny Mercer

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

Now another winter time 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

Now another winter time 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
