Thanks for the Memory (From "The Big Broadcast of 1938")

Yes, we traveled far and wide together

Did we travel to fast?

Now I'm runnin' and wonder whether

Any good things ever last

But that dear, is past

So, 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 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

And thanks 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

Letters with sweet little secrets

That couldn't be put in a day wire

Too bad it all had to go haywire

But that's alright, I sleep at night

And thanks for the memories

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-oo

And thank you, so much

Thank you so much
