As Dorothy Parker once said to her boyfriend: "Fare thee well!"
|
As Columbus announced when he knew he was bounced: "It was swell, Isabelle, swell!
|
"As Abelard said to Heloise: "Don't forget to drop a line to me, please."
|
As Juliet cried in her Romeo's ear: "Romeo, why not face the fact, my dear?"
|
It was just one of those things,
|
just one of those crazy flings,
|
one of those bells that now and then rings,
|
just one of those things.
|
It was just one of those nights,
|
just one of those fabulous flights,
|
a trip to moon on gossamer wings, just one of those things.
|
If we'd thought a bit of the end of it when we started painting the town,
|
We'd have been aware that our love affair was too hot not to cool down.
|
So, goodbye, dear, and amen! Here's hoping we meet now and then.
|
It was great fun, but it was just one of those things!
