I've been carrying a torch so long
I look like the Statue of Liberty!
My friends say it's so
And perhaps they ought to know!
They tell me I ought to get around
To give romance another play
So I've arranged a date this evening
And I'm on my way
I'm stepping out with a memory tonight
To paint the town the way we used to do
I'll dine at the old cafe where we had so much fun
And order co*ktails for two instead of the usual one
Then, after dark
In a Hansom through the park
While reminiscin' I'll be kissin' you
A lot of folks may think I'm crazy
Well maybe they're right
But I'm steppin' out with a memory tonight
