The boat rides we would take The moonlight on the lake The way we danced and hummed our favorite song The things we did last summer I'll remember all winter long The midway and the fun The kewpie doll 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 begin to fade like promises we made How could a love that seemed so right go wrong That 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 begin to fade like promises we made How could a love that seemed so right go so wrong That things that we did last summer I'll remember all winter long
