Thanks for the memory
2
Of sentimental verse,
3
Nothing in my purse,
4
And chuckles
5
When the preacher said
6
For better or for worse,
7
How lovely it was.
8
Thanks for the memory
9
Of Schubert's Serenade,
10
Little things of jade
11
And traffic jams
12
And anagrams
13
And bills we never paid,
14
How lovely it was.
15
We who could laugh over big things
16
Were parted by only a slight thing.
17
I wonder if we did the right thing,
18
Oh, well, that's life, I guess,
19
I love your dress.
20
Thanks for the memory
21
Of faults that you forgave,
22
Of rainbows on a wave,
23
And stockings in the basin
24
When a fellow needs a shave,
25
Thank you so much.
26
Thanks for the memory
27
Of tinkling temple bells,
28
Alma mater yells
29
And Cuban rum
30
And towels from
31
The very best hotels,
32
Oh how lovely it was.
33
Thanks for the memory
34
Of cushions on the floor,
35
Hash with Dinty Moore,
36
That pair of gay pajamas
37
That you bought
38
And never wore.
39
We said goodbye with a highball,
40
Then I got as high as a steeple,
41
But we were intelligent people,
42
No tears, no fuss,
43
Hooray for us.
44
Strictly entire nous,
45
Darling, how are you?
46
And how are all
47
Those little dreams
48
That never did come true?
49
Awfully glad I met you,
50
Cheerio and toodle-oo
51
Thank you,
52
Thank you so much.
