Our Last Summer
Abba



The summer air was soft and warm
The feeling right
The Paris night
Did it's best to please us

And strolling down the Elysée

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 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
