We used to dwell in love s own palace
A palace of dreams come true
Now that we re through, I bear no malace
Though we ve called it a day, all I can say, is
Thanks for all the lovely delights I ve found in your embrace
I m thankful, though I know it s ending all too soon
And thanks for unforgetable nights I never can replace
And memories that linger like a haunting tune
Bridge
It 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 day
And thanks again for taking me on the road to paradise
We lost our way, still I must convey my thanks
