Thanks for the Memory

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

Written by：DR

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 memories

Of rainy afternoons swinging 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 thanks for the memory

Of summers at the shore nights in Singapore

You might have been a breakdown

But you never were a bore

So thank you so much

Thanks for the memories

Have longely with lakes

Hills bake and cakes

And how i jump the day

You jump my warm and only eggs

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

How luckly i met you

To the old and to the loop

And thank you so much
