As recorded by DICK POWELL
with Victor Young & His Orch., March 11th 1935:


How can I convey it all, I don’t want to bore you
It’s so hard to say it all, standing here before you
Got so very much to say in so many ways
But I’ve found a different way in a current phrase

Thanks a million, a million thanks to you
For everything that love could bring you brought to me
Each tender love word you happened to say
Is hidden away in memory’s bouquet

Thanks a million, for I remember, too
The tenderness that your caresses taught me
You made a million dreams come true
And so I’m saying thanks a million to you

(Instrumental Break)

Thanks a million, for I remember, too
The tenderness that your caresses taught me
You made a million dreams come true
And so I’m saying thanks a million to you
