Things recorded by the Wilburn Brothers
written by Bobby Darin
C
Every night I sit here by my window
G7
Staring at the lonely avenue
C F
Watching lovers holding hands and laughing
C G7 C
And thinking about the things we used to do
Chorus G7
Thinking about things like a walk in the park
C
Things like a kiss in the dark
G7
Things like a sailboat ride
C
What about the night we cried
F
Things like a lover’s vow
C
Things that we don’t do now
G7 C
Thinking about the things we used to do
Memories are all I have to cling to
G7
And heartaches are the friends I’m talking to
C F
But I’m not thinking bout just how much I love you
C G7 C
I’m thinking about the things we used to do
Chorus
I can still hear the jukebox softly playing
G7
And the face each day I see belongs to you
C F
There’s not a single sound and there’s nobody else around
C G7 C
It’s just me thinking about the things we used to do
Chorus
