Lyrics Sleigh Ride in July - Lena Horne

Sleigh Ride in July

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
