You Were Never Lovelier
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
