Things

Dean Martin · Lay Some Happiness On Me: The Reprise Years (Repri [2002]

(Bobby Darin)



Every night I sit here by my window

Staring at the lonely avenue

Watching lovers holding hands and laughing

Thinking 'bout the things we used to do.



(Thinking 'bout things) like a walk in the park

(Things) like a kiss in the dark

(Things) like a sailboat ride

(Yea, yea) oh, what about the night we cried.



Things like a lover's vow

Things that we don't do now

Thinking 'bout the things

We used to do.



Memories are all I have to cling to

And heartaches are the friends I'm talking to

When I'm not thinking of just how much I love you

I'm thinking 'bout the things we used to do.



(Thinking 'bout things) like a walk in the park

(Things) like a kiss in the dark

(Things) like a sailboat ride

(Yea, yea) oh, what about the night we cried.



Things like a lover's vow

Things that we don't do now

Thinking 'bout the things

We used to do.



I still can hear the jukebox softly playing

And the face I see each day belongs to you

Though there's not a single sound and there's nobody else around

Well, there's just me thinking bout the things we used to do.



(Thinking 'bout things) like a walk in the park

(Things) like a kiss in the dark

(Things) like a sailboat ride

(Yea, yea) oh, what about the night we cried.



Things like a lover's vow

Things that we don't do now

Thinking 'bout the things

We used to do.



And the heartaches are the friends I'm talking to

You got me thinking bout the things we used to do

Thinking 'bout the things we used to do...
