The summer air was soft and warm 
the feeling right, the Paris night 
did its best to please us 
and strolling down the Elysee 
we had a drink in each café 
and you 
you talked of politics, philosophy and I 
smiled like Mona Lisa 
we had our chance 
it was a fine and [bad word] 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, a 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
