Thanks (with Jimmie Grier & His Orchestra)

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, still I must convey my thanks

It is better to have loved you, dear, and lost

And thanks again for taking me on the road to paradise
We lost our way, but still I must convey my thanks
