Danke Shoen, Darling, Danke Shoen

Thank you for all the joy and pain

Picture shows

Second balcony was the place we'd meet

Second seat, Gold Dutch treat, you were sweet

Danke Shoen, darling, Danke Shoen

Save those lies, darling, dont explain

I recall central park in fall

How you tore your dress, what a mess

I confess thats not all

Danke Shoen, darling, Danke Shoen

Thank you for walks down lover's lane

I can see hearts carved on a tree

Letters intertwine for all time, yours and mine that was fine

Danke Shoen, darling, Danke Shoen

Thank you for seeing me again

Though we go on our seperate way

Still the memory stays for always

My heart says Danke Shoen

Danke Shoen, oh darling, Danke Shoen

I said thank you for mmm, seeing me again

Though we go on our seperate ways

Still the memory stays for always

my heart says Danke Shoen

Danke Shoen

I'll be the same

Danke Shoen
