Once Upon a Summertime
Eternal Love Blossoms in Summertime Memories
Lyrics
Once upon a summertime, if you recall
Reflecting on a past summer
We stopped beside a little flower store
Stopping at a flower store
A bunch of bright forget-me-nots
Choosing a bouquet of forget-me-nots
Was all you'd let me buy you
Limiting the purchase to the flowers
Once upon a summertime, just like today
Recalling a summer day similar to the present
We laughed the happy afternoon away
Enjoying a joyous afternoon together
And stole a kiss in every street cafe
Sharing kisses in various street cafes
You were sweeter than the possums in the trees
Complimenting the partner's sweetness
I was as proud as any man could be
Feeling immense pride in the relationship
As if the mayor handed me the key to Paris
Comparing the joy to receiving the key to Paris
Now, another wintertime has come and gone
Transitioning to a different time, possibly winter
The pigeons feeding in the square have flown
Noting the absence of pigeons in the square
But I remember when the vespers chimed
Recalling the past when the vespers chimed
You loved me once upon a summertime
Emphasizing the previous love during summer
Now, another wintertime has come and gone
Repeating the transition to another winter
The pigeons feeding in the square have flown
Reiterating the absence of pigeons
But I remember when the vespers chimed
Re-emphasizing the memory of love during summer
You loved me, once
Stating the past love during a summertime
Upon a summertime
Concluding the reminiscence of a past summer love
