The boat rides we would take
The moonlight on the lake
The way we danced and hummed our favorite songs
The things we did last summer I'll remember all winter long
Midway and the fun
The Kewpie dolls we won
The bell you rang to prove that you were strong, ding-dong
The things we did last summer I'll remember all winter long
The early morning hike
The rented tandem bike
And the lunches that we used to pack
We never could explain that sudden summer rain
And the looks we got when we got back
The leaves began to fade
Like the 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
Well, it was sunny summer love then and we had ourselves a blast
It's funny they say we had our day but it's all in the past
And my rainy day I fear is finally here
Now that I've cried for wishes that I threw aside
Lessons in love were not lost, my dear
The memory of autumn leaves something to be desired
As yellow, maroon and brown and orange and red began to fall
Our summer song grew old and tired
Your poems and sonnets seemed uninspired
Our happy days and summer haze seemed harder to recall
Even the thrill of autumn in New York
Well, it didn't really seem so inviting
But, oh, my dear, how I only wish we could be reuniting
As I'm singing these words spilling out my sorrows
Dreading all the tomorrows
When love's lost and Jack's frost is chilling me to the bone
The fire has fizzled and gone right out and left me all alone
Without your love to keep me warm
Wouldn't it have been grand
To frolic in this winter wonderland?
But our love couldn't withstand the change of season
What I wouldn't give, you don't even know
To get you and keep you under the mistletoe
Why couldn't everything have stayed just so?
Then spring came along, supposedly a season of song
Sadly, I must say it ain't necessarily so
If everything old is new again, then why can't I have you again?
I'd even settle for temporarily so
Things are looking up they say in the season of the four-leaf clover
When May and June are busting out all over
So please excuse me if I'm a less than gracious host
But spring is the season that hangs me up the most
We could spend April in Paris
But, baby, can't you see it just isn't the same
As our carefree ways and the endless days
When we did the things we did last summer
ย
The early morning hike
The rented tandem bike
And the lunches that we used to pack
We never could explain that sudden summer rain
And the looks we got when we got back
Ooh, the leaves began to fade
Like the promises we made
How could a love that seemed so right go wrong?
The things we did last summer
Oh, why ain't it always summer?
The things we did last summer
I'll remember all winter long
