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
