thanks
Vaughn Monroe Lyrics

Thanks for the memory
Expressing gratitude for the memories they shared

Of things I can't forget, journeys on a jet
Remembering unforgettable moments, like traveling on a plane together

Our wond'rous week in Martinique and Vegas and roulette
Recalling a magical time spent in Martinique and Las Vegas, where they gambled on roulette

How lucky I was
Feeling fortunate to have had those experiences

And thanks for the memory
Expressing gratitude again for the memories they shared

Of summers by the sea, dawn in Waikiki
Recalling peaceful moments spent by the ocean in Waikiki

We had a pad in London but we didn't stop for tea
Reminiscing about their time living in London and the fact that they were too busy to take a break and have tea

How cozy it was
Reflecting on the comfort they found in each other's company

Now since our breakup I wake up
Acknowledging that they have broken up and how it has affected them

Alone on a gray morning-after
Feeling lonely and sad in the aftermath of the breakup

I long for the sound of your laughter
Missing the joy and happiness they shared together

And then I see the laugh's on me
Realizing that they were foolish to let go of their love

But, thanks for the memory
Still expressing gratitude for the memories they shared, even though the relationship is over

Of every touch a thrill, I've been through the mill
Recalling the thrilling moments they shared together, even though the relationship had its ups and downs

I've lived a lot and learned a lot, you loved me not and still
Admitting that despite the love not being mutual, they still cherished the memories and experiences they had together

I miss you so much
Expressing the depth of their longing and sadness for their lost love

Thanks for the memory
Expressing gratitude again for the memories they shared

Of how we used to jog even in a fog
Recalling an activity they used to do together, even in challenging conditions

That barbecue in Malibu, away from all the smog
Reminiscing about a beautiful day spent barbecuing in a place free from pollution

How rainy it was
Reflecting on the fact that even though it rained, they had a great time together

Thanks for the memory
Expressing gratitude again for the memories they shared

Of letters I destroyed, books that we enjoyed
Recalling moments of destroying old letters or enjoying books together

Tonight the way things look, I need a book by Sigmund Freud
Feeling the need for guidance and psychological insight during a difficult time

How brainy he was
Reflecting on the intelligence and wisdom of Sigmund Freud

Gone are those evenings on Broadway
Feeling sad about the loss of the happy times they spent together

Together we'd go to a great show
Recalling how they would enjoy going to watch shows together

But now I begin with the Late Show
Starting the night alone by watching a late show on TV

And wish that you were watching, too
Longing for the presence of the person they loved while watching the show

I know it's a fallacy
Acknowledging that it may not be true

That grown men never cry, baby, that's a lie
Challenging the notion that it's not masculine to cry, admitting that the breakup has brought them to tears

We had our bed of roses, but forgot that roses die
Remembering that their love was once beautiful like a bed of roses, but coming to terms with the fact that it has ended

And thank you so much
Gratefully accepting the memories while saying goodbye to their past love
