Thanks for the Memory
Nostalgic Reflections: A Grateful Journey Through Memories
Lyrics
Thanks for the memory
Expressing gratitude for the memories
Of things I can't forget, journeys on a jet
Recalling unforgettable experiences, including travels on a jet
Our wond'rous week in Martinique and Vegas and roulette
Reflecting on a memorable week in Martinique, Vegas, and roulette
How lucky I was
Acknowledging the luck in those moments
And thanks for the memory
Continuing gratitude for memories, this time summers by the sea
Of summers by the sea, dawn in Waikiki
Recalling specific moments like dawn in Waikiki
We had a pad in London but we didn't stop for tea
Mentioning a residence in London without stopping for tea
How cozy it was
Appreciating the coziness of those times
Now since our breakup I wake up
Post-breakup, waking up alone on gray mornings
Alone on a gray morning-after
Expressing the solitude after the separation
I long for the sound of your laughter
Longing for the sound of the partner's laughter
And then I see the laugh's on me
Realizing that the laughter is now at the speaker's expense
But, thanks for the memory
Continued gratitude for memories, including the thrill of every touch
Of every touch a thrill, I've been through the mill
Acknowledging experiences, having been through ups and downs
I've lived a lot and learned a lot, you loved me not and still
Having lived and learned a lot, recognizing unreciprocated love
I miss you so much
Expressing the deep longing and missing the partner
Thanks for the memory
Reiterating thanks for memories, this time recalling jogging and a barbecue in Malibu
Of how we used to jog even in a fog
Specifically mentioning activities in different settings
That barbecue in Malibu, away from all the smog
Remembering moments away from city smog
How rainy it was
Recalling the weather during the mentioned barbecue
Thanks for the memory
Expressing gratitude for memories involving destroyed letters and enjoyed books
Of letters I destroyed, books that we enjoyed
Referencing the need for psychological understanding, mentioning Sigmund Freud
Tonight the way things look, I need a book by Sigmund Freud
Commenting on the current emotional state and the desire for insight
How brainy he was
Appreciating the intelligence of Sigmund Freud
Gone are those evenings on Broadway
Reflecting on past evenings spent on Broadway
Together we'd go to a great show
Recalling shared experiences of attending great shows
But now I begin with the Late Show
Noting the change in routine, starting with the Late Show
And wish that you were watching, too
Expressing a wish for the partner's presence during the Late Show
I know it's a fallacy
Acknowledging the fallacy that grown men never cry and refuting it
That grown men never cry, baby, that's a lie
Rejecting the idea that men don't cry, recognizing the end of a pleasant period
We had our bed of roses, but forgot that roses die
Having had a good time but realizing that pleasant times come to an end
And thank you so much
Expressing gratitude again, this time for the memories despite the pain
