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
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 good bye with a
highball
Than I got as "high" as a steeple
But we were intelligent people
No tears, no fuss, Hurray for us.
So thanks for the memory
and strictly entrenous
Darling how are you?
And how are all the little dreams
that never did come true?
Awfully glad I met you
Cheerio and toodle oo
And thank you
so much.
