Lyrics

Ev ’ry night I sit here by my win dow

(win dow), and star ing at the lone ly av e (C7)nue (av e nue),

When (F)watch ing lov think ing ers a hold ing hands and (Bb)laugh ing

(laugh ing), and I’m (F)think ing ’bout the (C7)things we used to (F)do.

(Think ing of (C7)things)

like a walk in the park,

(F)(things)

like a kiss in the dark,

(C7)(things)

like a sail boat ride.

(Yeah, yeah.) What a bout the night we (F7)cried?

(Bb)Things

like a lov er’s vow, (F)things

that we don’t (C7)do (F)now, (Gm7)think ing ’bout the (C7)things we used to (F)do.

Mem o ries are all I have to cling to

(cling to), and heart aches are the friends I’m talk ing (C7)to (talk ing to).

When (F)I’m not lov think ing of a just how much I (Bb)love you

(love you), well, I’m (F)think ing ’bout the (C7)things we used to (F)do.

(Think ing of (C7)things)

like a walk in the park,

(F)(things)

like a kiss in the dark,

(C7)(things)

like a sail boat ride.

(Yeah, yeah.) What a bout the night we (F7)cried?

(Bb)Things

like a lov er’s vow, (F)things

that we don’t (C7)do (F)now, (Gm7)think ing ’bout the (C7)things we used to (F)do.

(F)do.

I still can hear the juke box soft ly play ing

(play ing), and the face I see each day be longs to (C7)you (be longs to you).

Though there’s (F)not a sin gle sound and there’s no (Bb)bod y else a round,

well, there’s a (F)just me think ing ’bout the (C7)things we used to (F)do.

(Think ing of (F)do.

And the (Gm7)heart aches are the (C7)friends I’m talk ing (F)to.

You got me (Gm7)think ing ’bout the (C7)things we used to (F)do.

You got me

(Gm7)Star ing at the (C7)lone ly av e (F)nue.
