Thanks for the memory
Of sentimental verse
Of nothing in my purse
And struggles when the preacher said
For better or for worse
How lovely it was
Thanks for the memory
Of schubert's serenade
Little things of jade and traffic jams
And anagrams and bills we never paid
How lovely it was
We who can laugh over big things
We're parted by only a slight thing
I wonder if we did the right thing
Oh well that's life I guess
Thanks for the memory
Of faults that you forgave
Rainbows on a wave and stockings in the basin
When a fellow needs a shave
Thank you so much
Thanks for the memories
Of tinkling temple bells
Alma mater yells the cuban rum and towels
From the very best hotels
Oh how lovely it was
Thanks for the memory
Of cushions on the floor
** with denty moore
That pair of gay pajamas that you bought and never wore
How lovely it was
We said goodbye with a high ball
I got as high as a steeple
But we were intelligent people
No tears no fuss hooray for us
Strictly entre new
Darling how are you
And how are all those little dreams
That never did come true
Awfully glad I met you
Cheerio too lou
Thank you so much
