|
The summer air was soft and warm, the feeling right |
|
The Paris night did it's best to please us |
|
And strolling down the Elysee |
|
We had a drink in each cafe and you |
|
You talked of politics, philosophy |
|
And I smiled like Mona Lisa |
|
We had our chance |
|
It was a fine and true romance |
|
I can still recall our last summer |
|
I still see it all |
|
Walks along the Seine, laughing in the rain |
|
Our last summer, memories that remain |
|
We made our way along the river |
|
And we sat down in the grass by the Eiffel tower |
|
I was so happy we had met |
|
It was the age of no regret, oh yes |
|
Those crazy years, that was the time of the flower-power |
|
But underneath we had a fear of flying |
|
Of getting old, a fear of slowly dying |
|
We took the chance like we were dancing our last dance |
|
I can still recall our last summer |
|
I still see it all |
|
In the tourist jam, 'round the Notre Dame |
|
Our last summer, walking hand in hand |
|
Paris restaurants, our last summer |
|
Morning croissants |
|
Living for the day, worries far away |
|
Our last summer, we could laugh and play |
|
And now you're working in a bank |
|
The family man, a football fan |
|
And your name is Harry |
|
How dull it seems, yet you're the hero of my dreams |
|
I can still recall our last summer |
|
I still see it all |
|
Walks along the Seine, laughing in the rain |
|
Our last summer, memories that remain |
|
I can still recall our last summer |
|
I still see it all |
|
In the tourist jam, 'round the Notre Dame |
|
Our last summer, walking hand in hand |
|
Paris restaurants, our last summer |
|
Morning croissants |
|
We were living for the day, worries far away |
