Thanks for the Memory

Thanks for the Memory - Anita O'Day (安妮塔·奥黛)

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

Thank you 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

So thank you 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 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 thank you 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
