bestesi ralph rainger, sözleri leo robin'e ait 1938 tarihli klasik parça. ilk kez the big broadcast of 1938 adlı filmde shep fields and his orchestra tarafından çalınmış ve bob hope ile shirley ross tarafından seslendirilmiştir. ilerleyen yıllarda dorothy lamour'un yeniden yorumladığı şarkı büyük şöhret kazanmış ve lamour şarkının ilk kez çalındığı filmde de oynadığı için, şarkı daha çok onunla özdeşleşmiştir. hope-ross düetinin olduğu ve filmde çalan şarkı "en iyi şarkı" dalında akademi ödülü kazanmıştır. sözleri şöyledir;

thanks for the memory
of rainy afternoons, swingy harlem tunes
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
the parthenon, and moments on the hudson river line
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

so thanks for the memory
of crap games on the floor, nights in singapore
you might have been a headache, but you never were a bore
i thank you so much

thanks for the memory
of china's funny walls, transatlantic calls
that weekend at niagara when we hardly saw the falls
how lovely that was

thanks for the memory
of lunch from twelve to four, sunburn at the shore
that pair of gay pajamas that you bought and never wore
say, by the way, what did happen to those pajamas?

letters with sweet little secrets
that couldn't be put in a day wire
too bad it all had to go haywire
that's life, i guess, i love your dress

do you? thanks for the memory
of faults that you forgave, rainbows on a wave
and stockings in the basin when a fellow needs a shave
i thank you so much

thanks for the memory
of gardens at versailles, and beef and kidney pie
the night you worked and then came home with lipstick on your tie
how lovely that was

thanks for the memory
of lingerie with lace, and pilsner by the case
and how i jumped the day you trumped my one and only ace
how lovely that was

we said goodbye with a highball
and i got as high as a steeple
but we were intelligent people
no tears, no fuss, hooray for us

strictly entre nous, darling, how are you?
and how are all those little dreams that never did come true?
awfully glad i met you, cheerio, tootle-oo
thank you, thank you

bu şarkının frank sinatra'ya özgü ve farklı sözleri olan yorumunun güftesi şöyledir;

thanks for the memory
of things i can't forget, journeys on a jet
our wond'rous 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 a 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
