Thanks For The Memory
Roger Williams His Piano And Orchestra Lyrics

Thanks for the memory
Thank you for the reminiscence

Of sentimental verse
Of poetry filled with emotions

Nothing in my purse
Even when I had no money

And chuckles
and laughter

When the preacher said
During the wedding vows

For better or for worse
In sickness and in health

How lovely it was.
How beautiful that moment was.

Of Schubert's Serenade
Of the beautiful Schubert's Serenade song

Little things of jade
Small but beautiful things made from Jade.

And traffic jams
And despite getting stuck in traffic

And anagrams
Finding amusement in wordplay.

And bills we never paid
Not worrying about unpaid bills

How lovely it was.
How beautiful those experiences were

We who could laugh over big things
We who could find humor in significant issues

Were parted by only a slight thing.
Had a minor disagreement that separated us.

I wonder if we did the right thing,
I often question the decision we made,

Oh, well, that's life, I guess,
Well, but that's how things happen sometimes

I love your dress.
I adore your dress

Of faults that you forgave,
Of the mistakes that you pardoned

Of rainbows on a wave,
Of the beauty of the rainbows seen on waves

And stockings in the basin
And the stockings placed in the basin.

When a fellow needs a shave,
When I needed to shave.

Thank you so much.
Thank you truly, dearly.

Of tinkling temple bells,
Of the enchanting sound of temple bells.

Alma mater yells
Cheers for the school

And Cuban rum
And the delicious Cuban drink

And towels from
As well as the luxurious towels from

The very best hotels,
The most exquisite hotels.

Oh how lovely it was.
Oh, how fantastic these experiences were.

Of cushions on the floor,
Of the pillows on the ground,

Hash with Dinty Moore,
Hash, a meal, prepared by Dinty Moore

That pair of gay pajamas
Those pajamas that gave us cheer,

That you bought and never wore.
You purchased them but never got a chance to wear them.

We said goodbye with a highball,
We parted over drinks

Then I got as high as a steeple,
I consumed much alcohol

But we were intelligent people,
Even so, we were sensible

No tears, no fuss,
No crying, no fighting

Hooray for us.
Cheering for our achievement

Strictly entire nous,
Sincerely honest with ourselves,

Darling, how are you?
How are you, love?

And how are all
And how are all the

Those little dreams
Those small aspirations

That never did come true?
That never materialized?

Awfully glad I met you,
I'm incredibly happy to have encountered you,

Cheerio and toodle-oo
Goodbye with a cheer and a wave.

Thank you,
Thank you,

Thank you so much.
Thank you deeply.
