The summer air was soft and warm 00:01
The feeling right, the Paris night 00:03
Did it's best to please us 00:06
And strolling down the Elysee 00:11
We had a drink in each cafe 00:16
And you 00:19
You talked of politics, philosophy and I 00:23
Smiled like Mona Lisa 00:27
We had our chance 00:30
It was a fine and true romance 00:33
I can still recall our last summer 00:39
I still see it all 00:43
Walks along the Seine 00:48
Laughing in the rain 00:51
Our last summer 00:53
Memories that remain 00:55
We made our way along the river 01:00
And we sat down in the grass 01:03
By the Eiffel tower 01:05
I was so happy we had met 01:10
It was the age of no regret 01:14
Oh yes 01:18
Those crazy years, that was the time 01:22
Of the flower-power 01:25
But underneath we had a fear of flying 01:30
Of getting old, a fear of slowly dying 01:34
We took the chance 01:39
Like we were dancing our last dance 01:42
I can still recall our last summer 01:47
I still see it all 01:52
In the tourist jam 01:57
Round the Notre Dame 01:59
Our last summer 02:02
Walking hand in hand 02:04
Paris restaurants 02:07
Our last summer 02:09
Morning croissants 02:12
Living for the day 02:17
Worries far away 02:19
Our last summer 02:22
We could laugh and play 02:24
And now you're working in a bank 03:07
The family man, the football fan 03:09
And your name is Harry 03:12
How dull it seems 03:16
Yet you're the hero of my dreams 03:19
I can still recall our last summer 03:25
I still see it all 03:30
Walks along the Seine 03:34

[English]

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
Living for the day
Worries far away
