Thanks for the memory, of candlelight and wine, castles on the Rhine
E7 F#m7 Bm5-/7 E7
The Parthenon and moments on the Hudson River Line
D9 Dm6 Cdim E7 E7/13 Fdim A6 F#m
How lovely it was! Thanks for the memory
A Edim E7 Cdim
Of rainy afternoons, swingy Harlem tunes
E7 F#m7 Bm5-/7 E7
And motor trips and burning lips and burning toast and prunes
E7 D9 A A A7M D9 E7
How lovely it was! Many's the time that we feasted
A A7M D9 E7 G Bm7 Am7 D7
And many's the time that we fasted, Oh, well, it was swell while it lasted
G G/F# E7 E7/13 Fdim A6 F#m
We did have fun and no harm done and thanks for the memory
A Edim E7 Cdim
Of sunburns at the shore, nights in Singapore
E7 F#m7 Bm5-/7 E7
You might have been a headache but you never were a bore
D9 Dm6 Cdim E7 E7/13 Fdim A6 F#m
So thank you so much. Thanks for the memory
A Edim E7 Cdim
Of sentimental verse, nothing in my purse
E7 F#m7 Bm5-/7 E7
And chuckles when the preacher said "For better or for worse"
D9 Dm6 Cdim E7 E7/13 Fdim A6 F#m
How lovely it was. Thanks for the memory
A Edim E7 Cdim
Of lingerie with lace, Pilsner by the case
E7 F#m7 Bm5-/7 E7
And how I jumped the day you trumped my one-and-only ace
D9 E7 A A A7M D9 E7
How lovely it was. We said goodbye with a highball
A A7M D9 E7 G Bm7 Am7 D7
Then I got as "high" as a steeple, but we were intelligent people
G G/F# E7 E7/13 Fdim A6 F#m
No tears, no fuss, Hooray! For us. So, thanks for the memory
A Edim E7 Cdim
And strictly entre-nous, darling how are you
E7 F#m7 Bm5-/7 E7
And how are all the little dreams that never did come true
D Fdim A F#7 D9 E7 A
