Once Upon A Summertime Lyrics

Astrud Gilberto

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
