Thanks

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
