The Things We Did Last Summer 1946

The weeks go quickly by
when hearts are gay;
they seem to fly away,
too soon they're gone.
Thoughout the lonely night,
how hard you try
to lose the memories
that linger on.

The boat rides we would take,
the moonlight on the lake
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
The bell I rang to prove
that I was strong
The things we did last summer
I'll remember all winter long
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
How could a love
that seemed so right go wrong?
The things we did last summer
I'll remember all winter long

I've tried so to forget,
at times I do, and yet
The mem'ry of you lingers
like our song
The things we did last summer,
I'll remember all winter long
The midway and the fun,
the kewpie dolls we won
The bell I rang to prove
that I was strong
The things we did last summer
I'll remember all winter long
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
How could a love
that seemed so right go wrong?
The things we did last summer
I'll remember all winter long.
