On ne peut pas vivre ain-si que to le fais D'un sou-ve-nir qui n'est plus qu'un re-gret Sans un - a - mi et sans au-tre se-cret Qu'un peu de lar-mes Pour ces quel-ques pages de me-lan co-lie Tu as ferme le liv-re de ta vie Et tu as cru que tout e-tait fi-ne... ..Mais tous les lilas de Mai N'en di-ni-ront N'en fi-ni-ront jamais De fair' la fete au coeur des gens qui s'ai-ment s'ai-ment Tant que tour-ne-ra Que tour-ne-ra le temps jusqu'au der-nier Jusqu' au der-nier Prin-temps Le ciel asra le ciel au-ra vingt and Les a-mou-reux en au-ront tout au-tant....

ONCE UPON A SUMMERTIME, If you re-call, we stopped beside a little flower stall. A bunch of bright for-get-me- nots was all (I'd let you buy me) (You'd let me buy you). One Upon a Summertime, Just like today, we laughed the happy afternoon a way, and stole a kiss in ev'ry street cafe.' You were sweeter than the blossome on the tree. I was as proud as any (girl) (Man) could be, As if the Mayor had offered me the key to Par-is! Now, another winter has come and gone. The pigeons feeding in the square have flown, but I remember when the vespers chime. You loved me Once Upon a Summertime.

My wife is a singer and is doing a concert in France in September. She recently heard the song Once Upon a Summetime - Words by Mercer, music by Michel Legrand. She has the Music and English Words for this song but would like to get the lyrics to the original French version which was Valse Des Lilas by Eddy Marnay / Michel Legrand

What is the best way to get the lyrics for this song?

Thanks for your assistance.
