That lovely weekend (Dorothy Carless & Geraldo, 1941)

That lovely weekend

I haven't said 'Thanks' for that lovely weekend
Those two days in heaven you helped me to 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 so 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 well spend
A lifetime as sweet as that lovely weekend.
