Thanks For The Memory.

Seq- Dr.J.Pitt-Payne. Kar- Bunty Pritchard Jones. July 2000.

Yes, we've travelled far and wide together,
Did we travel too fast?

Now I reminisce and wonder whether,
any good things ever last,
But that, dear, is past.

Thanks for the memory,
of rainy afternoons,
Swingy Harlem Tunes,

And motor trips and burning lips,
and burning toast and prunes,
How lovely it was!

Thanks for the memory,
of candle~light and wine,
Castles on the Rhine,

Your cosy chair and parties,
where we sang "Sweet Adeline",
How lovely it was!

Many's the time that we feasted,
And many's the time that we fasted.
Oh, well, it was well while it lasted.

We did have fun,
no harm was done.

And Thanks for the Memory,
of sun~burns 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 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 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 high~ball;
Then I got as "high" as a steeple.

But we were intelligent people,
No tears, no fuss, hurray 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?

Awf'ly glad I met you,
Cheerio and toodle~oo
And thank you so much.
