Our Last Summer

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...
