Every night I sit here by my window
Staring at the lonely avenue
Watching lovers holding hands and 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
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
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
Well, I'm 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
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.
Still can hear the jukebox softly playing
And the face I see it still belongs to you.
Now there's not a single sound,
There's nobody else around
Well, it's just me 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
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
And heartaches are the friends I'm talking to
Got me thinking 'bout the things we used to do.
Staring at the lonely avenue

Ev'ry night I sit here by my window (window)
Starin' at the lonely avenue (avenue)
Watching lovers holdin' hand 'n' laughin' (laughin')
And thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do
(Thinkin' 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 lover's vow
Things that we don't do now
Thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do
Memories are all I have to cling to (cling to)
And heartaches are the friends I'm talkin' to (talkin' to)
When I'm not thinkin' of-a just how much I love you (love you)
Well, I'm-a thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do
I still can hear the jukebox softly playin' (playin')
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-a just me thinkin' of the things we used to do
And the heartaches are the friends I'm talkin' to
Ya got me thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do

There are things that make me mad
You are not one of them
There are things that make me sad
But you are not one of them
There are things that make me, dad

(Lew DeWitt)
Things just aren't the way they used to be
Things I thought I remembered well look different now to me
For adult eyes can sure surprise a childhood memory
No things just ain't the way they used to be.
The windows at the school don't seem as tall
As I remember neither do the fountains in the hall
And that fifth grade teacher really wasn't terrible at all
No things just ain't the way they used to be.
The playground doesn't seem as big somehow
And I could put a ball right through the office window now
And I know now why chewin' gum in school was not allowed
No things just ain't the way they used to be.
Butch Carter used to keep us kids afraid
He'd bust the lip of any kid who dared get in his way
I wish old Butch were standin' here in front of me today
'Cause things just ain't the way they used to be.
I wish I could have grown into the man
That I pictured as a child and fill those childhood plans
I'd do it right if only I could live my life again
But things just ain't the way they used to be.
Forbiden now these unfamiliar streets
Places momma told me I should never set my feet
Well, today I know exactly where those streets and alleys lead
'Cause things just ain't the way they used to be.
Buck Painter is no longer unemployed
Uncle Dick has simmered down with age and rarely gets annoyed
And now I see Butch Carters' gone to workin' for the Lord
No things just ain't the way they used to be.
No things just ain't the way they used to be...
