Il Était Une Fois Nous Deux

Joe Dassin Joe Dassin

Once Upon a Time, Us Two

Remember, it was a Thursday
Remember, we had followed
The lovers' path
It was once upon a time, us two

Remember, it was the big day
The big step towards great love
It was even better than that
It was us two once upon a time

A motel on the road to the port
An ordinary evening
Two guests, a night watchman who falls asleep
On his newspaper

He hands each of us a key
Wishes us goodnight
In the morning, we had reserved separate rooms
We don't dare show that we love each other
At just eighteen

Remember, it was a Thursday
Remember, we had followed
The lovers' path
It was once upon a time, us two

Remember, it was the big day
The big step towards great love
It was even better than that
It was us two once upon a time

We took room fourteen by chance
A little embarrassed
Then your dress slipped in the dark
We loved each other

When later the boy came
To bring us two coffees
With a knowing smile, you hid
He didn't see that you were crying
The childhood that was fading away

Remember, it was a Thursday
Remember, we had followed
The lovers' path
It was once upon a time, us two

Remember, it was the big day
The big step towards great love
It was even better than that
It was us two once upon a time

Remember, remember
The lovers' path
It was once upon a time, us two
Remember, remember
It was even better than that
It was us two once upon a time
Remember, remember
