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.
