The Things We Did Last Summer
Jo Stafford
Music and Lyrics by Jule Styne and Sammy Cahn

One of many hits in the 40’s and 50’s recorded by singer Jo Stafford.


The boatrides 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 midwat and the fun,
The Kewpie dolls we won,
The bell I (you) rang to prove that I was
(you were) 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 look 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.
