Sleigh Ride in July - Lena Horne

If I were the type to play around

It wouldn’t be so bad

But I didn’t know my way around

And what a time I had!

I was taken for a sleigh ride in July

Oh, I must have been a set up for a sigh

A mocking bird was whistling a sentimental tune

And I didn’t know enough to come in out of the moonlight

So, the big romance was only make believe

Just a sleigh ride on a balmy summer eve

My dreams were safe all winter

And then to think that I

Was taken for a sleigh ride in July

I was taken for a sleigh ride in July

Oh, I must have been a set up for a sigh

A mocking bird was whistling a sentimental tune

And I didn’t know enough to come in out of the moonlight

So, the big romance was only make believe

Just a sleigh ride on a balmy summer eve

My dreams were safe all winter

And then to think that I

Was taken for a sleigh ride in July
