| How do I thank him, what do I say
|
| For the dreams he made me live for
|
| And the ones I put away?
|
| A thousand and one lights
|
| For the thousand and one nights
|
| When the man came out singing
|
| About losing, about winning
|
| Who was this tough guy
|
| This only happens once guy
|
| Who sang Puccini and Basie
|
| Hung out with Bogie and Tracy?
|
| He wrote his own book
|
| And lived every page
|
| And hung out his tears to dry
|
| Whenever he walked out on stage
|
| How do I say it
|
| 'Cause I can’t say it all?
|
| But it’s not just for me
|
| But for every guy and doll
|
| Those thousand and one lights
|
| They were something to see
|
| All flashing and dancing 'round Caesars' marquee
|
| The lights were spashed with colors
|
| But the words read bright and clear
|
| And the marquee simply said
|
| «He's here» |
