Versuri Thanks For The Memory

 

 
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
