Fred Astaire - You Were Never Lovelier lyrics

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. 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]
