Once Upon A Summertime

Once upon a summertime if you recall
We stopped beside a little flower stall
A bunch of bright forget-me-nots was all you let me buy you
Once upon a summertime just like today
We laughed the happy afternoon away
And stole a kiss in every street cafe
You were sweeter than the blossom on the tree
I was as proud as any man could be
As if the mayor had offered me the key, 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.

Johnny Mercer, Once Upon a Summertime
