[Verse 1]
Cm Fm6
Once upon a summertime, if you recall
G7 Cm7
We stopped be-side a little flower stall
Cm6 D7
A bunch of bright forget-me-nots was all
G7-9 G7
I'd let you buy me
[Verse 2]
Gm7/C C7 C7b9 Fmaj7
Once upon a summertime just like today
Bb9 Cmaj7
We laughed the happy afternoon away
Am7 D7 G7 G7-9
And stole a kiss in ev'ry street cafe
[Verse 3]
Cmaj7 Am7 Dm7
You were sweeter than the blossoms on the tree
G7 C
I was as proud as any girl could be
Am7 Dm7 G7
As if the mayor had offered me the key to Paris
[Verse 4]
Gm7/C C9 C7 F
Now, another wintertime has come and gone
Bb9 Cmaj7
The pigeons feeding in the square have flown
Am7 D7
But I remember when the vespers chime
Dm7 G9 G7-9 C
You loved me once upon a summertime
[Verse 5]
Gm7/C C9 C7 F
Now, another wintertime has come and gone
Bb9 Cmaj7
The pigeons feeding in the square have flown
Am7 D7
But I remember when the vespers chime
Dm7 G9 G7-9 C
You loved me once upon a summertime
