  • 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
    A 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

    Paris restaurants
    Our last summer
    Morning croissants (we were)
    Living for the day, worries far away Writer/s: Benny Goran Bror Andersson, Bjoern K. Ulvaeus
