Yes, we’ve travelled far and wide together;
Did we travel too fast?
Now I reminisce and wonder whether any good things ever last.
But that, dear, is past.

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!

Thanks for the memory of candlelight and wine,
Castles on the Rhine,
Your cozy chair and parties where we sang “Sweet Adaline”
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 sunburns at the shore,
Nights in Singapore.
You might have been a headache but you never were a bore,
So thank you 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 lingerie with lace,
Pils’ner by the case,
And how I jumped the day you trumped my one and only ace.
How lovely it was!

We said good-bye with a highball;
Then I got as “high” as a steeple.
But we were intelligent people;
No tears, no fuss,
Hurray for us.

So thanks for the memory and strictly entrenous,
Darling, how are you?
And how are all the little dreams that never did come true?
Awf’ly glad I met you,
Cheerio and toodle-oo
And thank you so much!
