Текст песни You Were Never Lovelier - Fred Astaire

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

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
