Once Upon A Summer's Day
She was drawing pictures of tourist by the river
Once upon a summer's day
I was playing guitar for an empty tip jar
Praying for something of value to come my way
She look over smiled said "I like your songs"
I said something stupid but not too wrong
We were young and foolish and just a little crazy
Once upon a summer's day
I continued busking for a few more dollars
To maybe buy her coffee at a sidewalk cafe
She said "I'm going to study art in France"
I said "I want to join a Rock and Roll Band"
It seemed we talked for ever in those few short hours
Once upon a summer's day
Then we walked on over by the water tower
And as we lay in the grass I heard her say
"You know we may never see each other again"
I said "Yes but for right now let us pretend"
More than a year I spent reliving every moment of
Once upon a summer's day
Sold my gear and car jumped a plane to Paris
And now we walk together down the Champs-Elysees (shahn-zay-lee-ZAY)
She was drawing pictures of tourist by the river
Once upon a summer's day
Once upon a summer's day
Once upon a summer's day
Once upon a summer's day...
