We used to dwell in love's own palace
A palace of dreams come true
Now that we're through I bear no malice
Though we've called it a dayAll I can say is
Tanks for all the lovely delights
I found in your embrace
I'm thankful though I know it's ending all too soonAnd thanks for unforgettable nights, I never can replace
And memories that linger like a haunting tune
It is better to have loved you, dear and lost
Than never to have loved at allYes, it's better, for no matter what the cost
I held the world in sway, an emperor for a day
And thanks again for taking me on the road to paradise
We lost our road but still I must convey our thanksIt is better to have loved you, dear and lost
Than never to have loved at all
Yes, it's better, for no matter what the cost
I held the world in sway, an emperor for a dayAnd thanks again for taking me on the road to paradise
We lost our way but still I must convey my thanks
