Intro: Verse 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
