Lyrics:
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

I'm so used to hearing the phaser effect on this song. Sounds weird without it.
@piggyman-st8iu
It indeed is weird. Wait, hey, it's you Carebear! Fancy seeing you here.

In all honesty I've listened to this original version so much that it doesn't even sound strange without the phaser effect anymore,
Also going a bit of topic, I would like to say that "I came here to pay homage to all the memories that have been forgotten but decided to stay for all the memories that were created along the way."

Al Bowlly's voice is so... sweet. I can't really think of any other words to describe it as my English isn't great. To me, it's the auditory equivalent of a cup of apple juice.
@waltergray7722
Simply a beautiful version of this great number.
Thank you for sharing.
