Lyrics That Lovely Week-End - Vera Lynn

That Lovely Week-End

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
