Once Upon a Summertime
Romantic Memories: A Summertime Love Blossoming
Lyrics
Once upon a summertime, if you recall
Reflecting on a past summer
We stopped beside a little flower stall
Stopping at a flower stall together
A bunch of bright forget-me-nots
Choosing a bunch of bright forget-me-nots
Was all I'd let you buy me
Accepting a simple gift from the speaker
Once upon a summertime just like today
Recalling another summer day similar to the present
We laughed the happy afternoon away
Spending a joyful afternoon together
And stole a kiss at every street café
Sharing kisses at street cafés
You were sweeter than the blossoms on the tree
Complimenting the sweetness of the partner
I was as proud as any girl could be
Expressing pride in the relationship
As if the mayor had offered me the key to Paris
Feeling valued, as if given the key to Paris
Now another winter time has come and gone
Transitioning to a different time (winter)
Pigeons feeding in the square have flown
Noting the absence of pigeons in the square
And I remember when the vespers chimed
Recalling the past when vespers chimed
You loved me once upon a summertime
Reminiscing about being loved in the past
Now another winter time has come and gone
Repeating the idea of the passage of winter
Pigeons feeding in the square have flown
Reiterating the absence of pigeons
But I remember when the vespers chimed
Recalling the sound of vespers in memory
You loved me once upon a summertime
Affirming the past love during a summer
