RIP, Bob...

and "Thanks for the Memories"

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

[Evil Chris]

Wherever he is now, I'm sure he's still entertaining.

RIP Mr. Hope. :wnw:

Bob,

thanks for the good laughs :)

My Dad saw him in North Africa (and my Uncle in the South Pacific) in World War II, the first Chief I worked for in the Navy saw him in Korea and again in VietNam; and my ex brother-in-law saw him in 1990 in Saudi Arabia, almost 50 years after he started doing that gig. Even though you knew that this final episode of "The Road To..." series was coming, it's kind of sad. He was a great man and a great American.
