THANKS FOR THE MEMORY

Thanks___  for the mem-o-ry___
of can-dle light and wine,____
Cas-tles on the Rhine,__The Par -the- on and 
mo-ments on the Hud-son Riv-er Line.___
How love - ly      it  was!

Thanks     for the mem-o-ry___
of rain-y af-ter-noons,____
Swing - y  Har-lem tunes,___
And mo-tor trips and burn - ing lips and
burn-ing toast and prunes,___
How love - ly      it  was!

Ma-ny's the time that we feast - ed
And ma-ny's the time that we fast - ed.
Oh,  well,  it was swell while it last - ed;
We did have fun   and no harm done.

And thanks    for the  mem-o - ry
of sun-burns at the shore,__
nights in Sing-a-pore.__
You might have been a head-ache
but you nev-er were a bore,
So thank you       so much.

Thanks     for the mem-o-ry___
of sen- ti-men-tal verse,____
No- thing in my purse,___
And chuck-les when the preach-er said 
"For bet-ter or worse"___
How love - ly      it  was!

Thanks     for the mem-o-ry___
of lin- ge-rie with lace,____
Pils- ner by the case,___
And how I jumped the day you
trumped my one and on-ly ace.___
How love - ly      it was!

We said good bye with a high- ball;
Then I got as "high" as a stee-ple.
But  we  were in-tel-  li-gent  peo-ple;
No tears, no fuss,  Hur- ray for us.

So thanks   for the mem-o-ry___
and strict- ly en-tre-nous,___
Dar - ling, how are you?
And how are all the lit - tle dreams
that nev-er did come true?__
Awf- 'ly glad I met you,
Chee - ri - o and too-dle-oo___
And    thank you     so  much!
