(parlando:)
Darling, as I sit here in my lonely room, writing to you,
I remember all the good times we used to share
My mind wanders back, back to those warm summer days,
filled with sunshine, and laughter, and love
So I raise my glass to you, my love, and I drink to your memory.
(Chorus:)
I drink to your memory, the mem'ry of you,
the joy that we knew - I [drink to your memory/*mem' to your drinkery].
(parlando:)
Oh darling, remember those silly quarrels we used to have?
You're a stubborn little thing, aren't you?
You always had to have your way
So, it was my fault, really, I suppose
I should've been firmer with you
I should've put you 'cross my knee
Trouble was, I couldn't bring myself to do it
You were bigger than me
You were bigger than everybody
But I, I just wanna remember the good things about you.
Chorus*
(parlando:)
oh oh oh... you know, my friends didn't like you at all
They said you were (...?**) with pigs
Well, I stuck up with you, my darling
I think you were (...?**)
(...?**) strings of my heart
Because it's true what they say
A letter brings you closer together
I still remember you as if you're only yesterday
(...?**)
Chorus***
(parlando:)
I must close now, as I do not feel too well.
**Der Text ist - gewollt - so undeutlich gesprochen, daß ich ihn nur mit Hilfe der französischen Coverversion erraten habe, die ziemlich genau übersetzt; wo nicht, da bin auch ich ratlos.
***vom Chor gesungen; er selber lallt nur noch ein paar Wortfetzen dazwischen.
