Thanks for the Memory Songtext
von Mildred Bailey

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 Adelines
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

And thanks for the memory
Of sunburns at the shore
Nights in Singapore
You might have been a bring-down
But you never were a bore
So thank you so much

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 en se nu
Darling, how are you?
And how are all the little dreams
That never did come true?
And thank you so much
