[Verse 1] I was never able to recite a fable That would make the party bright Sitting at the table I was never able To become the host's delight But 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 [Verse 2] 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]
