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

Thank you for the memory
Of rainy afternoons
Swingin' Harlem toons
Motor trips, burning lips
Burning toast and prunes
How lovely it all 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

So thank you 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 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
I got as high as a steeple
But we were intelligent people
No tears, no fuss
Hooray for us

So thank you for the memory
Strictly entre-nous
Darling, how are you?
How are all the little dreams
That never did come true
Awfully glad I met you
Cheerio and tootleoo
And thank you so much
