作词 : 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
