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.
