Previously Unreleased Recorded circa 1963 J. Styne/S. Cahn 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 The Midway and the fun The Cupie dolls we won The bell I rung 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
