Fred Astaire
You Were Never Lovelier
I was never able to recite a fableThat would make the party bright;Sitting at the table I was never ableTo become the host's delightBut now you've given me my after dinner story,I'll just describe you as you are in all your glory.[Chorus]You were never lovelier,You were never so fair,Dreams were never lovelier,Pardon me if I stare.Down the sky the moonbeams fly to light your face;I can only say they chose the proper place.You were never lovelier,And to coin a new phrase;I was never luckier in my palmiest days.Make a note, and you can quote me,Honor bright,You were never lovelier than you are tonight.[Chorus]
