| 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 day, all I can say is
|
| Thanks for all the lovely delights I found in your embrace
|
| I’m thankful, though I know it’s ending all too soon
|
| And 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 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, but still I must convey my thanks |
