Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Bridge]
We may never, never meet again
On the bumpy road to love
Still I'll always, always keep the memory of
[Verse 3]
The way you hold your knife
The way we danced till three
The way you've changed my life
No, no, they can't take that away from me
No, they can't take that away from me
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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
[Bridge]
We may never, never meet again
On the bumpy road to love
Still I'll always, always keep the memory of, oh yes
[Verse 6]
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
[Bridge]
Swing it, boys
[Bridge]
We may never, never, never, never meet again
On the bumpy road to love (Swing it, Ella)
Still I'll always, always keep the memory of (Yeah, ma'am)
[Verse 7]
The way you hold your knife
The way we danced till three (Yes, oh yes)
The way you changed my life
No, no, they can't take that away from me
[Outro]
No, they can't take that away from me (Would you repeat that again, deary, please?)
No, they can't take that away from me
