Our Last Summer lyrics

The summer air was soft, warm,

the feeling right, the Paris night

did its best to please us.

And strolling down the Élysées,1

we had a drink in each café,

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;2

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-Dame3

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 would 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…
