Artist/Band: Sarah Vaughan
Lyrics for Song: Thanks For The Memory
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Sarah Vaughan



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





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





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





But thanks for the memory


Of every touch and 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





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





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





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





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
