[D] [A] Thanks for the [D] memory of rainy [D#] afternoons, swingy [D] Harlem tunes,
[F#] older trips and [Am] burning lips and burning toast and prunes,
[Em] how lovely it [A] was.
Thanks [D] for the memory of candlelight [D#] and wine,
[D] castles on the [F#] Rhine, your cozy [C#] chair and parties
[A] where we sang sweet Adelines, [Em] how [Gm] lovely it was.
[F] Many's the time [Gm] that we [C] feasted, [Dm] and [F#] many's the time that we [D#] fasted,
[A] oh well it was [F#m] swell [D] while it lasted, [Gm] we did [A] have fun and no harm done.
[F#m] And [A] thanks [D] for the memory of sunburns [D#] at the shore,
[A] nights in [D] Singapore, [F#] you might have been [Em] a bring down,
