This pretty little tune reminded me of happy days in Paris, staying with a friend in St Germaine. I can feel the sunlight filtering through the plane trees, as we sip from little cups of very strong coffee. Bliss!

The dotted rhythms of this tune are reminiscent of Skye Boat Song. Watch out for the tied Gs in the left hand.
