Thanks for the memory
|
Of candlelight and wine, castles on the Rhine
|
The Parthenon and moments on the Hudson River Line
|
How lovely it was!
|
|
Thanks for the memory
|
Of rainy afternoons, swingy Harlem tunes
|
And motor trips and burning lips and burning toast and prunes
|
How lovely it was!
|
|
Many's the time that we feasted
|
And many's the time that we fasted
|
Oh, well, it was swell while it lasted
|
We did have fun and no harm done
|
|
And thanks for the memory
|
Of sunburns at the shore, nights in Singapore
|
You might have been a headache but you never were a bore
|
So thank you so much.
|
|
Thanks for the memory
|
Of sentimental verse, nothing in my purse
|
And chuckles when the preacher said "For better or for worse"
|
How lovely it was
|
|
Thanks for the memory
|
Of lingerie with lace, Pilsner by the case
|
And how I jumped the day you trumped my one-and-only ace
|
How lovely it was!
|
|
We said goodbye with a highball
|
Then I got as "high" as a steeple
|
But we were intelligent people
|
No tears, no fuss, Hooray! For us
|
|
So, thanks for the memory
|
And strictly entre-nous, darling how are you?
|
And how are all the little dreams that never did come true?
|
Aw'flly glad I met you, cheerio, and toodle-oo
|
|
And thank you so much
|
