Thanks for the memory |
|
Of things I can't forget, journeys on a jet |
|
Our wondrous week in Martinique and Vegas and roulette |
|
How lucky I was |
|
And thanks for the memory |
|
Of summers by the sea, dawn in Waikiki |
|
We had a pad in London, but we didn't stop for tea |
|
How cozy it was |
|
Now since our breakup, I wake up |
|
Alone on a gray morning-after |
|
I long for the sound of your laughter |
|
And then I see the laugh's on me |
|
But thanks for the memory |
|
Of every touch and thrill; I've been through the mill |
|
I've lived a lot and learned a lot; you loved me not and still |
|
I miss you so much |
|
Thanks for the memory |
|
Of how we used to jog even in a fog |
|
That barbecue in Malibu away from all the smog |
|
How rainy it was |
|
Thanks for the memory |
|
Of letters I destroyed, books that we enjoyed |
|
Tonight, the way things look, I need a book by Sigmund Freud |
|
How brainy he was |
|
Gone are those evenings on Broadway |
|
Together we'd go to a great show |
|
But now I begin with the Late Show |
|
And wish that you were watching too |
|
I know it's a fallacy |
|
That grown men never cry; baby, that's a lie |
|
We had our bed of roses, but forgot that roses die |
|
And thank you so much |
