Frank Sinatra
Thanks for the Memory
[Verse 1]
Thanks for the memory
Of things I can't forget
Journeys on a jet
Our wondrous week in Martinique
And Vegas and roulette
How lucky I was
[Verse 2]
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 cozy it was
[Bridge 1]
Now since our breakup I wake up
Alone on a gray morning-after
I long for the sound of your laughter
And then I see the laugh's on me
[Verse 3]
But thanks for the memory
Of every touch a thrill
I've been through the mill
I've lived a lot and learned a lot
You loved me not and still
I miss you so much
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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
[Bridge 2]
Gone are those evenings on Broadway
Together we'd go to a great show
But now I begin with the late show
And wish that you were watching, too
[Verse 6]
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
