Thanks for the Memory

Thanks for the Memory - Bob Hope/Shirley Ross

Written by：Harris/Terry

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 shubert's serenade

Little things of jade

And traffic jams and anagrams and bills we never paid

How lovely it was

We who could laugh

Over big things

Were parted by only a slight thing

I wonder if we did the right thing

Oh well that's life I guess

I love your dress

Do you

It's pretty

Thanks

For the memory

Of faults that you forgave

Rainbows on a wave

And stockings in the basin when a fellow needs a shave

Thank you so much

Thanks for the memory

Of tinkly temple bells

Alma mater yells

And cuban rum and towels from the very best hotels

Oh how lovely it was

Thanks for the memory

Of cushions on the floor

Hash with Dinty Moore

That pair of gay pajamas that you bought and never wore

Say by the way whatever became of those pajamas

We said goodbye with a highball

Then I got as high as a steeple

Did you

But we were intelligent people

No tears no fuss

Hooray for us

Strictly entre nous

Darling

How are you

And how are all those little dreams

That never did come true

Awfully glad I met you

Cheerio and tootle loo

Thank you

Thank you

So much
