Our Last Summer

A Teens

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, the 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...
