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 toodleoo And thank you so much
