The Things We Did Last Summer
Words & Music by Sammy Cahn & Jule Styne
Recorded by Jo Stafford with The Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, 1946
The boat rides we would take, the moonlight on the lake,
G/f#
The way we danced and hummed our fav'rite song;
The things we did last summer, I'll remember all winter long.
The midway and the fun, the kewpie dolls we won,
G/f#
The bell I rang to prove that I was strong;
The things we did last summer, I'll remember all winter long.
Bridge:
The early morning hike, the rented tandem bike,
The lunches that we used to pack;
We never could explain that sudden summer rain,
The looks we got when we got back.
The leaves began to fade like promises we made;
G/f#
How could a love that seemed to right go wrong?
The things we did last summer, I'll remember all winter long.
