"Early In The Morning"

Early in the morning

Of a lovely summer day

As they lowered the bright awning

At the outdoor café

I was breakfasting on croissants

And café au lait

Under greenery like scenery

Rue François Premier

They were hosing the hot pavement

With a dash of flashing spray

And a smell of summer showers

When the dust is drenched away

Under greenery like scenery

Rue François Premier

I was twenty and a lover

And in Paradise to stay

Very early in the morning

Of a lovely summer day
