Once Upon A Summertime Lyrics - Blossom Dearie

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
