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 |
