THANKS (Coslow,
Johnston)
Thanks was an upbeat song about lost
love written for Bing's movie Too Much
Harmony. Bing
recorded the song on Aug. 27, 1933,
with the Jimmy Grier Orchestra. The song
reached No. 2 on
the pop charts for two weeks.
We used to dwell 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 love 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.
