Score. 8 pages. Timothy Stapay #1112402. Published by Timothy Stapay (A0.1539612)."Thanks For The Memory" is a song of fond farewell to a lover, and it became Bob Hope’s signature song after it appeared in his movie, The Big Broadcast of 1938. It won the Academy Award for best original song, and reached the height of its popularity during WW2, when Hope used it to close each of his USO shows in Europe.
For people who lived through that war, when many weren’t sure if they or their loved ones would even see tomorrow, it became the perfect eulogy and song of goodbye. Hope brought the song to a new generation, when he used it throughout his USO tours of Vietnam in the 1960s.
Thanks for the memory
Of sentimental verse, nothing in my purse
And chuckles when the preacher said
"For better or for worse"
How lovely it was
Thanks for the memory
Of Shubert's "Serenade," little things of
jade
And traffic jams and anagrams and bills
we never paid
How lovely it was
We who could laugh over big things
Were parted by only a slight thing
I wonder if we did the right thing
Oh, well, that's life, I guess
I love your dress
Do you?
It's pretty
Thanks for the memory
Of faults that you forgave, rainbows on a
wave
And stockings in the basin when a fellow
needs a shave
Thank you, so much.
