Thanks For The Memory - Susannah McCorkle

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 past

Thanks for the memory

Of candlelight and wine castles on the Rhine

The Parthenon

And moments on

The Hudson River line

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

So thanks for the memory

Of nights in Singapore

Crap games on the floor

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

So thank you so much

Thanks for the memory

Of China's funny walls

Transatlantic calls

A weekend at Niagara

When we never saw the falls

How lovely it was

And thanks for the memory

Of steak and kidney pie

Gardens at Versailles

The night you worked and then came home

With lipstick on your tie

How lovely it was

We said goodbye with a highball

Then I got as high as a steeple

But we were intelligent people

No tears no fuss Hooray for us

And thanks for the memory

And strictly entre-nous darling how are you

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

And thank you so much
