Remember, it was a Thursday
Remember, we followed
The path of lovers
It was the two of us, once upon a time
A motel on the way to the port
An ordinary evening
Two customers, a night watchman falling asleep
Over his paper
He gives us each a key
Says to us "Goodnight"
In the morning we had reserved
Separate rooms
We didn't dare show that we loved each other
At barely 18 years of age
Remember, it was a Thursday
Remember, we followed
The path of lovers
It was once upon a time
Remember it was the big day
The great step towards true love
It was even better than that
It was the two of us, once upon a time
We chose Le Quatorze* at random,
A little embarrassed
Then your dress slipped into the dark
We loved each other
Later when the boy came
To bring us
Coffee, with a wide grin
You hid yourself away
He didn't see that I was crying (for)
The childhood which was going away
Remember, it was a Thursday
Remember, we followed
The path of lovers
It was once upon a time
Remember, it was the big day
The great step towards true love
It was even better than that
It was the two of us, once upon a time
Remember, remember
The path of lovers
It was yesterday, once upon a time
Once upon a time
It was yesterday, once upon a time
Remember, remember, remember
It was the two of us**, once upon a time.
