Vera Lynn - That Lovely Weekend lyrics

My darling
Here's my letter I'm writing
Through my tears
A few sweet words to thank
You for lovely souvenirs
Memories you gave me still echo in my heart
I'll dream if then while we're apart

I haven't said thanks for
That lovely weekend
Those two days of heaven you helped me spend
The thrill of your kiss as
You stepped off the train
The smile in your eyes like
The sun after rain

To mark the occasion we went out to dine
Remember the laughter, the music, the wine
That drive in the taxi
When midnight had flown
Then breakfast next morning
Just we two alone

You had to go, the time was too short
We both had so much to say
Your kit to be packed, the train to be caught
Sorry I cried but I just felt that way

And now you have gone, dear
This letter I pen
My heart travels with you till we meet again
Keep smiling, my darling
And someday we'll spend
A lifetime as sweet as that lovely weekend
