Thanks for the Memory

Lyrics
Recordings
Yes we've travelled far and wide together

Did we travel too fast

Now I reminisce and wonder whether any good things ever last

But that dear is also past

Thanks for the memory

Of candlelight and wine castles on the Rhine

Your cosy chair and parties where

We sang Sweet Adeline

How lovely it was

Thanks for the memory

Of rainy afternoons swingy Harlem tunes

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

Lunch from twelve to four

You might have been a headache but you never were a bore

So thank you

What a memory

Of China's funny walls

Transatlantic calls

A weekend at Niagara

When we hardly saw the falls

Darling my darling

How lovely it was

Thanks for the memory

Of Gardens at Versailles

Moonlight you and I

The night you worked and then came home

With lipstick on your tie

How lovely it was

We said goodbye with a highball

Then you got as high as a steeple

But we were intelligent people

No tears no fuss Hooray for us

Thanks for the memory

And strictly entre-nous darling how are you

And how are all those little dreams that never did come true

Awfully glad I met you

Cheerio and toodle-oo

And thank you thank you so much
