Thanks for the Memory Songtext
von Rosemary Clooney

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 reminding me
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 when 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 may have been a headache, but you never were a bore
I thank you so much

We who could laugh over big things
Word parted by only a slight thing
I wonder if we did the right thing
No doubt we did
Of course, we did

But thanks for reminding me
Of midnight in MoMA
Galleries of art
We travelled with the smart sect
So I guess that we were smart
I thank you so much

And strictly entre nous, darling, how are you?
And how are all the little dreams that never did come true?
Awfully glad I met you, cheerio, and toodle-ooh
I thank you so much
