Thanks for the memory,
Of candlelight and wine, castles on the
Rhine,

The Parthenon and moments on the Hud
son 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 last
ed,

We did have fun and no harm done.
And thanks for the memory,
Of sunburns at the shore, nights in Sin

gapore,
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,
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, andtoodleoo.
And thank you so much.
