Thanks for the Memory
Thanks for the memory of candlelight and wine, castles on the line
The Parthenon and moments on the Hudson River line
How lovely it was!
Thanks for reminding me of rainy afternoons, swinging 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
So, thanks for the memory of sunburns at the shore, nights in Singapore
You may have been a headache but you never were a bore
I thank you so much
Thanks for the memory at midnight in Mormont
Calories on vault
We travelled with the smart set
So, I guess that we were smart
I thank you so much
We who could laugh over big things
We're parted by only a slight thing
Now I wonder if we did the right thing
No doubt, we did
Of course, we did
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?
Awfully glad I met you, cheerio, and toodle
And thank you so much
The Parthenon and moments on the Hudson River line
How lovely it was!
Thanks for reminding me of rainy afternoons, swinging 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
So, thanks for the memory of sunburns at the shore, nights in Singapore
You may have been a headache but you never were a bore
I thank you so much
Thanks for the memory at midnight in Mormont
Calories on vault
We travelled with the smart set
So, I guess that we were smart
I thank you so much
We who could laugh over big things
We're parted by only a slight thing
Now I wonder if we did the right thing
No doubt, we did
Of course, we did
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?
Awfully glad I met you, cheerio, and toodle
And thank you so much
