Music: Ralph Rainger
Thanks for the memory
Of rainy afternoons,
Swingy Harlem tunes,
Motor trips and burning lips,
And burning toast and prunes.
How lovely it was!
Thanks for the memory
Of candlelight and wine,
Castles on the Rhine,
Your cozy chair and parties where
We sang "Sweet Adeline".
How lovely it was!
Many is the time that we feasted,
And many is the time that we fasted.
Oh well, it was swell while it lasted!
We did have fun, and no harm done.
Thanks for the memory
Of sunburns at the shore,
Nights in Singapore.
You might have been a bringdown,
But you never were a bore.
So thank you so much!
