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 you 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

   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
 Can't take that away
 Can't take that away from me
