Thank you for the time you gave me
Thank you for the time we had
I can see us getting much closer
‘Cos you fit like a glove
I see us being together
Maybe falling in love



It’s a big town in a big world
I’m a big boy and you’re a beautiful girl
But I never really thought I’d see you quite so many miles from home
I faced up to the fact some time ago that I was here on my own, on my own



Thank you for the time you gave me
Thank you for the time we had
I can see us getting much closer
‘Cos you fit like a glove
I see us being together
Maybe falling in love



I’m a loner in a lonely place
Then you walked in with your beautiful face
And your stylish knitwear, let down hair and penchant for Italiano
But no sooner had I kissed you than you’re flying off to San Fransisco, to Frisco



Thank you for the time you gave me
Thank you for the time we had
I can see us getting much closer
‘Cos you fit like a glove
I see us being together
Maybe falling in love



And thankyou for the words you lent me
And the hotdog we shared down in Washington Square



So I’m still here for a few days
Are you returning with your beautiful ways?
If so we’ll meet tonight at seven at the Waldorf Astoria
I’ll be the one with pink carnation, Levi trousers, dans luminaire, luminaire

​

Thank you for the time you gave me
Thank you for the time we had
I can see us getting much closer
‘Cos you fit like a glove
I see us being together
Maybe falling in love
Thank you for the time you gave me
Thank you for the time we had
