Once Upon a Summertime (cover)

Me trying to croon Blossom Dearie's "Once Upon A Summertime".

Once upon a Summertime if you recall
We stopped beside a little flower stall
A bunch of bright forget-me-nots was all
You'd let me buy you.

Once upon a Summertime just like today
We laughed the happy afternoon away
And stole a kiss in every street cafe

You were softer than the flowers on the trees
I was as proud as any boy could be
As if they mayor had offered me the key
To Paris.

Now another Wintertime has come and gone
The pigeons feeding in the square have flown
Do you remember when the vespas chimed?
You loved me once upon a Summertime.

This is wonderful...u sound like Ricci Martin. I heard Dean Martin singing this one...and you were one of the crooner i guess if by their time. Why don't you be like Michael Buble and rise as a star. Nice melodic voice. No criticism. All the best Memnoker.

At first I thought you meant Ricky Martin (the latin guy) and I was like "Huh?". But I just looked up Ricci Martin...he's Dean Martin's son. I'll have to check him out. Thanks for the compliment.

You sound very good. I wasn't expecting it. You've got a voice. I shouldn't nickpick but you messed up the lyrics a couple of times. However, to your credit, you replaced the correct ones with lyrics that fit well. Overall, I'd say you're pretty damned good.

Oh my goodness....I think I love you. You have a wonderful rich voice. I hope you sing more because the Blossom Dearie's of the world are not going to be with us forever.
