(Art Johnson / Sam Coslow)
Lew Stone & His Band
Oh, 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
It is 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
