[Verse 1]

Every night I sit here by my window (Window)

Staring at the lonely avenue (Avenue)

Watching lovers holding hands and laughing (Laughing)

And thinking 'bout the things we used to do


[Chorus]

(Thinking of things) Like a walk in the park

(Things) Like a kiss in the dark

(Things) Like a sailboat ride

(Yeah-yeah) What about the night we cried?

Things like a lovers vow

Things that we don't do now

Thinking 'bout the things we used to do


[Verse 2]

Memories are all I have to cling to (Cling to)

And heartaches are the friends I'm talking to (Talking to)

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

Well, I'ma thinking 'bout the things we used to do


[Chorus]

(Thinking of things) Like a walk in the park

(Things) Like a kiss in the dark

(Things) Like a sailboat ride

(Yeah-yeah) What about the night we cried?

Things like a lovers vow

Things that we don't do now

Thinking 'bout the things we used to do


[Verse 3]

I still can hear the jukebox softly playing (Playing)

And the face I see each day belongs to you (Belongs to you)

Though there's not a single sound

And there's nobody else around

Well, it's just me thinking of the things we used to do


[Chorus]

(Thinking of things) Like a walk in the park

(Things) Like a kiss in the dark

(Things) Like a sailboat ride

(Yeah-yeah) What about the night we cried?

Things like a lovers vow

Things that we don't do now

Thinking 'bout the things we used to do


[Outro]

And the heartaches are the friends I'm talking to

You got me thinking 'bout the things we used to do

Staring at the lonely avenue
