The Things We Did Last Summer
Recollections of a Summer Romance
Lyrics
The boat rides we would take, the moonlight on the lake
The enjoyable boat rides and the romantic moonlight experiences on the lake.
The way we danced and hummed our fav'rite song
Recalling the joy of dancing and humming to their favorite song together.
The things we did last summer I'll remember all winter long
Reflecting on the various activities and moments shared during the previous summer, with a promise to remember them throughout the winter.
The midway and the fun, the kewpie dolls we won
Memories of the midway, fun times, and the prizes, such as kewpie dolls, they won.
The bell I rang to prove that I was strong
A symbol of strength in ringing a bell, possibly as a token of their shared experiences.
The things we did last summer I'll remember all winter long
Reiterating the commitment to cherish the memories of the past summer throughout the winter.
The early morning hike, the rented tandem bike
Recalling an early morning hike and moments spent together on a rented tandem bike.
The lunches that we used to pack
Nostalgia for the shared lunches that they used to pack for their outings.
We never could explain that sudden summer rain
The inability to explain unexpected events, like sudden summer rain during their time together.
The looks we got when we got back
Remembering the curious looks they received from others upon their return from these adventures.
The leaves began to fade like promises we made
Describing the fading of leaves, symbolizing the passing of time and the promises made during that season.
How could a love that seemed so right go wrong?
Expressing the disappointment of a love that once felt right but eventually went wrong.
The things we did last summer I'll remember all winter long
Reiterating the commitment to remember the things they did during that particular summer throughout the winter.
I've tried so to forget, at times I do, and yet
Acknowledging the attempt to forget, yet admitting that the memory of the person lingers like a song.
The mem'ry of you lingers like our song
Comparing the lingering memory of the person to the persistence of a song.
The things we did last summer, I'll remember all winter long
Reaffirming the commitment to remember the shared experiences from the past summer during the winter.
