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 road, but still I must convey our thanks. It is better to have loved you dear and lost Than never to have loved at all. Yes, its 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.
