OUR LAST SUMMER

HARRY
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
On 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 growing old
A fear of slowly dying
We took our chance
Like we were dancing our last dance

HARRY & DONNA
I can still recall
Our last summer
I still see it all
HARRY
In the tourist jam
DONNA
Round the Notre Dam
HARRY & DONNA
Our last summer
Walking hand in had
DONNA
Paris restaurants
HARRY & DONNA
Our last summer
HARRY
Morning croissants
HARRY & DONNA
Living for the day
Worries far away
Our last summer
We could laugh and play

DONNA
And now you’re working
In a bank
The family man
A football fan
And your name is Harry
How dull it seems
Yet, you were the hero
Of my dreams…

HARRY & DONNA
I can still recall
Our last summer
I still see it all
Walks along the Seine
Laughing in the rain
Our last summer
Mem’ries that remain …

Original lyric:


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 our 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 Dam

Our last Summer
Walking hand in had

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
A football fan
And your name is Harry
How dull it seems
Yet, you were 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
Mem’ries that remain …
