ABBA - Our Last Summer Lyrics






The summer air was soft and warm
The feeling right
The Paris night
Did it's best to please us
And strolling down the Élysées
We had a drink in each café

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
The family man, the 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
Our last summer

    I think ABBA will top the charts of all selling artist ever in like 20 years or less... they selling more and more and more every second.. unlike nr 1 and 2 today ! With all respect to Elvis And Beatles.. but i think ABBA will be the greatest in the end just to their totally endless hits and musicstyle!

  14. a.... h....

    This song always gives me goosebumps.

  15. I.... P....

    Such a beautiful song, such gorgeous lyrics and a song a lot of people can relate to loosely. In my life I had a summer holiday in Paris, 2016 with my first true love and later that year we broke up. So I can relate to it a lot. Beautiful memories of the week we got engaged. It’s all over now but I still have fond memories of that last summer in Paris 😍

  16. B.... K....

    Love you Frida from Kerala 💙💛💚

  17. C.... D....

    ABBA是西方樂團最棒的團體........前無古人, 後無來者.........可惜這樣的曲風, 現今已少見 !!!

  22. R.... S....

    I took my kindergarten, elementary till high school round The Notre Dame.. I can still recall our last summer.. Love this song since elementary till then
    #Anyone from 2019?

  23. H.... m....

    Can someone tell me whom they married to and are they still alive or how???

    H.... m....

    They are all alive. The guy with the Beard is Benny, who married Frida (the Brunette). Agnetha (the blonde) married Bjorn (the clean shaven guy). They divorced more or less at the same time between 1979 1980

    H.... m....

    @resireg thanks for the clarification

    H.... m....

    Harmony melody All still alive 2019

  24. L.... C....

    Sometimes tears come to eyes; Frida is so beautiful and has such wonderful voice. I just love her.

    L.... C....

    Among the four, Frida's story is quite subdued. She was an orphan and her grandma took her under her wings escaping Norway at a very young age because she was a daughter of a German Nazi. She started singing young and fortunately, she had a great solo career before she became part of ABBA. She sacrificed living away from her children all for the love of Benny..

    L.... C....

    Her father was a German soldier but he was conscripted into the regular army.  He wasn't in the SS so we don't know if he actually believed in the Nazi doctrine.  Maybe just a guy trying to get through the war in one piece.   Frida and Benny's children came to live with them when the ABBA success allowed them to move to a house big enough.  Frida's son was even a technician on ABBA's 79/80 tours.

    L.... C....

    @chelseacharger well I understand what you're saying, but Frida and Benny did not have children. The children came from her Union with Ragnar Frederickson. She was married to him from 1964 to 1970. Her two children, Hans and Lisselotte, we're born to Frida and Ragnar.

    L.... C....

    Lynda Collins.  Yes, that's correct.   I was just clarifying things in reply to badlongon.   After their divorce, Ragnar remarried.   Benny also had two children, Peter and Helene with his former partner, Christina Gronvall.   When he and Frida moved to a bigger home in Lidingo, Stockholm,  these children came to live with them.   Peter and Hans, as well as step brothers when Frida and Benny got married,  became good friends and played in the same band in the early 80's.

  25. I.... U....

    Times I feel like crying listening to these songs. Old songs and yet the JUICE in them remains fresh.

  26. R.... J....

    this is one of my favorite songs :,)

  27. L.... G....

    I love all ABBA’s songs!!!!
    And still loving them all on November 2019

  28. �.... �....

    The 3 first letters in the name agnetha are a,g,n like in the word angel and she is as beautiful as an angel!
    love you agnetha and abba

  29. r.... ....

    What a great song!!! To all the women out there, don't let us become Harry's with someone else. Keep us being the hero of your dreams...

  30. T.... C....

    One of my all time favorite!!! Thank you ABBA for the lovely song

    T.... C....

    couldn't have put it better, cheers

  31. R.... W....

    This is one of my favourite ABBA songs. It's beautiful. 😢

  32. L.... ....

    Soooooo beautiful... <3

  33. A.... H....

    The melody borders on classical music at times. Such clever writing and such a moving melody. Abba at their very best.

  34. F.... F....

    Jogging la kaw cintai

  35. S.... S....

    I can still recall abba still being the best band ever who makes the greatest music

  36. f.... M....

    Il mondo è bello anche grazie a Voi...un abbraccio

  38. S.... G....

    what can i say about this track. So many sad memories. Things that have passed

  39. R.... R....

    Ich kann mich gut erinnern, das man damals Abba oft heimlich gehört hat, weil es nicht cool war...Gott sei Dank haben sich die Zeiten geändert, und man kann hören was man mag!

  40. R.... D....

    Lana Del Rey says if and when she covers this song will it elevate it from disposable Europop to a bonafide art piece.

    R.... D....

    Oh yeah, duets with Disney Channel popstrels, Cyrus and Grande is really highbrow stuff.  Understand this.    ABBA is already 'art'.   Philharmonic orchestra's,  military tattoos, church bells and opera singers have long recognised this.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RoQDRZP1yvQ   ....... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdT_FXZuRWs  .....    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUNI9Zha6AI

    R.... D....

    ABBA songs seem so easy to sing and no doubt everybody is drawn to sing but when you sing it, it will never really give justice to the song.. not even the best vocalist in the world. It seemed like they have made sure that their songs will never be sung the way it's mean to be. Really enchanted..

  41. R.... M....

    ABBA songs are dimensional and generational. Long live ABBA songs!

  42. M.... 7....

    Theres something magical about this song. But, blissfully enough, this isn't the only masterpiece of music & the arts that ABBA created. Without doubt, ABBA is the best band that ever walked on the face of the earth; second to, perhaps, only the Beatles, in terms of statistics & sales. But then again, the artistic genius of ABBA surpasses the musical capabilities of the Beatles. I think on an overall scale, ABBA wins the game of artistic & musical talent at all levels in all categories & records of modern history.

  43. M.... ....

    stereophonic voice

  44. y.... w....

    Amazing , ABBA the very best forever in the World history pop music !!!!!

  45. �.... ....

    僕は同じメロディーの繰り返しって、本当のところ、好きじゃなくて、外国語をしってたら、それも味わえるんでしょうけれど、変化のある歌やメロディの長い(悪く言えば、しつこい)ナンバーが好きです ポールマッカートニーやギルバート
    オサリバンとか、幼稚な聞き方かもしれませんがカミング。アウトしちゃいました でも 同じ時間たっぷり楽しメルじゃないですか!(私正直過ぎますね)アバなんて、そう言う意味でも、ナンバーワンの一つです。この歌も哀愁もあって、メリハリもあって、メロディもクドくて、大好きです。

  46. P.... B....

    Still listening in 2019, always and forever, Karlek karlek karlek Agnetha alltid och for evigt

  47. O.... ....

    Abba the best group of the 70's and still to this day.

  48. R.... M....

    ABBA is supreme in this genre, I love it; in Prog-Rock I love Genesis, both bands from the Seventies; both are masters at handling harmonic progressions, the quintessential stuff of European classical music.

  49. A.... B....

    When music was real music, played and singed by real musicians.

  50. �.... �....

    Какие все милые,какие прекрасные лица!Голоса!Это чудо не повторится!Остаётся только пересматривать и радоваться,что они были.Желаю им здоровья! СПАСИБО!!!

  53. J.... B....

    i used to feel sad that they divorced but now it would have been worse if they did not

  54. J.... B....

    now im the old fat bald man i knew it was possible but did not believe it

  55. J.... B....

    i listened to this song the first time when i was seventeen now im 56 i got it as well then as now

  56. H.... J....

    ABBA IS ABBA.

  57. A.... J....

    LOVE YOU SO MUCH ABBA.

  58. t.... ....

    Wow.. this is so sad !!!!!!!!!! Great uplifting tune.... but heart wrenching lyrics!!

  59. R.... H....

    THEIR MUSIC WILL LIVE FOR EVER.

  60. r.... ....

    I like that they always lived in Sweden, when most bands end up moving to London or LA (Bee Gees, AC DC). They were loyal to their homeland

    r.... ....

    Frida is Norwegian she moved to Sweden when young with her grandmother. Read their autobiography Bright Lights Dark Shadows about their lives and rise to fame. Frida's early life was particularly sad

    r.... ....

    @Maureen Bradley I know a little about it, but my point is that if they became expats in UK and USA, their professional livemwould be way easier, closer to concerts, studios, TV and radios, but they decided that they wanted to raise their children as Swedes and live close to their families, despite the higher tax and logistical cost. I admire them for that

  61. s.... ....

    thanks for those photos Nicolle Inverno awesome

  62. a.... m....

    Com certeza o melhor, saudades Infiniatas um Amor eterno por eles.

  63. J.... C....

    No one will ever be as good as they were.

  64. �.... �....

    I love ABBA forrever!

  65. I.... R....

    A = Amazing B = Beautiful B = Brilliant = Artists

  66. Z.... L....

    The vocals sound beautiful, but I'm an incurable Frida fan, I really love her.

  67. J.... C....

    My honeymoon and the best times together were in Paris, and the end of everything was also in Paris, so I identify with this song so much ... but everything in life has an end, it's very sad... but you have to accept it and keep going.

  68. R.... S....

    My favorite song and band since elementary grade.. Velvet voice... ❤️❤️❤️

  69. J.... O....

    Mi grupo preferido de todos los tiempos,,,ABBA ,,, NINGÚN GRUPO POR ENSIMA DE EL ..........NI BEATLES...NI QUEEN....EN VOCALES AGNETHA FALTSKOG # 1 . EN EL PLANETA..NO MADONNA,, NO.

  70. z.... d....

    Sorry, but i couldn't resist!
    My October sadness....
    And my January tears....
    I think that was enough!!!

  71. J.... F....

    Adios ABBA. Great group, compounded by marriage. Cold? Perhaps, but still ... would've lasted longer if not emotionally attached

    J.... F....

    John Freeland yes i agree. The fact they got into relationships made it complicated later!!

    J.... F....

    They were already couples before the band started.  If they hadn't been romantically involved, there wouldn't be an ABBA in the first place.

    The ABBA melodies are eternal.Most of their numbers ,at some point of time while listening, bring tears to my eyes.That's the power of the pure kind of melodies they have composed.May Almighty God keep them happy and healthy for many many years to come.

  74. a.... ....

    How they could be so talented ?

    a.... ....

    Because they were already famous in their solo careers before joining Abba. It was a combination of 4 stars (plus backing band)

  75. a.... z....

    I think this is the best abba song

  76. L.... C....

    There will never be another group that does for me what ABBA did. Truly beautiful music, and I have yet to hear two women whose voices compliment each other so well. All of them can sing, but Anni-Frid and Agnetha were just perfection.

  77. A.... J....

    I am a big fan of ABBA, endless addiction on ABBA music, love you so much.
