Carmen McRae – Once Upon A Summertime lyrics
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 let you buy me
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 girl could be
As if the mayor had offered me the key to Paris
Now, another wintertime has come and gone
The pigeons feeding in the square have flown
But I'll remember when the vespers chimed
You loved me once

Now, another wintertime has come and gone
The pigeons feeding in the square have flown
But I'll remember when the vespers chimed
You loved me once
You loved me once upon a summertime
