Once Upon A Summertime - The Innocence Mission

Once Upon a Summertime

Once upon a summertime if you recall

We stopped beside then in a flower stall

A bunch of bright forget-me-nots

Was all I let you buy me Once upon a summertime just like today

We laughed the happy afternoon away

And stole a kiss in every street caf

You were sweeter than the blossom on the tree

I was as proud as any girl could be As if the major had offered me the key, the key to paris

Now another wintertime has come and gone

The pigeons feeding in the square have flown

But I remember when the vespers chime

You loved me once upon a summertime

Tous les lilas, tous les lilas de mai

N’en finiront, n’en finiront jamais

De faire la fte du coeur

Des jeunes qui s’aiment

S’aiment, s’aiment

Now another wintertime has come and gone

The pigeons feeding in the square have flown

But I remember when the vespers chime

You loved me once upon a summertime…
