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, -5 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, -5 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; -5 How could a love that seemed to right go wrong? The things we did last summer, I'll remember all winter long.
