Our romance won't end on a sorrowful note,

Though by tomorrow you're gone;

The song is ended, but as the songwriter wrote,

The melody lingers on.

They may take you from me, I'll miss your fond caress.

But though they take you from me, I'll still possess.

 

The way you wear your hat

The way your sip your tea

The memory of all that

No, no, they can't take that away from me

 

The way your smile just beams

The way you sing off key

The way you haunt my dreams

No, no, they can't take that away from me

 

We may never, never meet again

On the bumpy road to love

Still, I'll always, always keep the memory of

 

The way you hold your knife

The way we danced till three

The way you changed my life

No, no, they can't take that away from me

No, they can't take that away from me

 

W e may never, never meet again

On the bumpy road to love

Still, I'll always, always keep the memory of

 

The way you hold your knife

The way we danced till three

The way you changed my life

No, no, they can't take that away from me

No, they can't take that away from me

Can't take that away

Can't take that away from me
