ONCE UPON A SUMMER AFTERNOON
(Levitt / Snyder)

John Gary


There were blue butterflies golden daffodils 
And a pale August sky filled with whippoorwills 
When we fell in love once upon a summer afternoon
I remember a kiss and an apple tree 
And the sound of her laughter still follows me
We were so in love once upon a summer afternoon. 
But the end of the dream always makes me cry 
I can still hear the word goodbye
Only blue butterflies, golden daffodils, apple trees 
And my heart knows I love her still
Once her love was mine once upon a summer afternoon
Once her love was mine once upon a summer afternoon
