Lyrics[]

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 in the grass by the Eiffel Tower

Sam:
I was so happy we had met
It was the age of no regret

Harry, Sam, and Bill:
Oh, yes

Bill:
Those crazy years
That was the time of the flower-power

Sam:
But underneath
We had a fear of flying

Harry:
Of growing old
A fear of slowly dying

Harry, Sam, and Bill:
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 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

Sophie:
And now you're working in a bank
A family man, a football fan
And your name is Harry

Harry:
How dull it seems

Sophie:
Are you the hero of my dreams?

Harry, Sam, and Bill:
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
I can still recall
Our last summer
I still see it all

Harry and Donna:
Walks along the Seine
Laughing in the rain
Our last summer
Memories that remain
