The Things We Did Last Summer…
September 11th, 2005 by suavecito
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.
A Sinatra original, remade by the angelic Beverley Staunton. One of the albums that gets serious playtime on my stereo…
