Thanks For The Memory

Thanks for the memory

Of candlelight and wine castles on the rhine

Parthenon and moments on the Hudson river line

How lovely it was

Thank you for the memory

Of rainy afternoons swingy harlem tunes

Motor trips 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 thank you for the memory

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

Aw'flly glad I met you cheerio and toodle oo

Thank you so much
