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 lunch from twelve to four, Sunburn on the shore, That pair of gay pyjamas That you bought and never wore; So thankyou 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 lather on your face, Pipes around the place, And how I jumped The day you trumped My one and only ace, How lovely it was! 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! 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? Awfully glad I met you, Cheerio and toodle-oo, And thankyou so much! (Transcribed by Peter Akers - August 2012) ******************** As recorded by FRANK SINATRA: Thanks for the memory Of things I can't forget Journeys on a jet Our wond'rous week in Martinique And Vegas and roulette How lucky I was And thanks for the memory Of summers by the sea Dawn in Waikiki We had a pad in London But we didn't stop for tea How cosy it was Now since our breakup, I wake up Alone on a grey morning after I long for the sound of your laughter And then I see the laugh's on me But thanks for the memory Of every touch, a thrill I've been through the mill I lived a lot and learned a lot You love me not, and still I miss you so much Thanks for the memory Of how we used to jog Even in a fog That barbecue in Malibu Away from all the smog How rainy it was Thanks for the memory Of letters I destroyed Books that we enjoyed Tonight, the way things look I need a book by Sigmund Freud How brainy he was Gone are those evenings on Broadway Together we'd go to a great show But now I behin with a late show And wish that you were watching too I know it's a fallacy That grown men never cry Baby, that's a lie We had our bed of roses But forgot that roses die And thank you so much (Transcribed by Mel Priddle - March 2013) ********************
