Thanks For The Memory Lyrics - Thanks For The Memory...great American Songbook Iv - Rod Stewart

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 

And 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

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

And thanks for the memory 

Of sunburns at the shore, nights in Singapore 

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

So thank you so much. 

Thanks for the memory 

Of sentimental verse, nothing in my purse 

And chuckles when the preacher said "For better or for worse" 

How lovely it was 

Thanks for the memory 

Of lingerie with lace, Pilsner by the case 

And how I jumped the day you trumped my one-and-only ace 

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 

So, thanks for the memory 

And strictly entre-nous, darling how are you? 

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

Aw'flly glad I met you, cheerio, and toodle-oo 

And thank you so much
