En estas tardes lluviosas de otoño, cuando ya el verano no es más que un vago recuerdo almacenado en algún recóndito punto de mi cerebro, es precisamente cuando más me apetece escuchar la dulce y aniñada voz de Blossom Dearie. Su exquisita melancolía me hace entonces perder la mirada en el infinito... "Once upon a summertime".
Once upon a summertime (Blossom Dearie)
Once upon a summertime, if you recall
We stopped beside a little flower stall
A bunch of bright forget-me-nots
Was all I'd ever let you buy me
Once upon a summertime just like today
We laughed the happy afternoon away
And stole a kiss in every street cafe
You were sweeter
Than the blossoms on the tree
I was as proud as any girl could be
As if the mayor had offered me
The key to Paris
Chorus (2x):
Now another winter time has come and gone
The pigeons feeding in the square have flown
But I remember when the vespers chimed
You loved me once upon a summertime
