That Lovely Week-End - Vera Lynn

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
