Welcome to the Discussion Group Bob. That's a Jesse "Pee Wee" Ashlock song. Jesse wrote several other wonderful songs for the band, including "Please Don't Leave Me" "The Kind of Love" "Still Water Runs the Deepest" and others. 

Here's the words to "My Life's Been A Pleasure" 

I still love you as I did in yesterday 
Many years have gone by 
Though it seems just like a day 
It's no wonder that I love you 
You've been so kind and true 
There will never be another 
It will always be just you 

We've come a long way together 
And you proved your love is true 
My life's been a pleasure 
And it's all because of you 
And to me you'll always be 
Just as sweet as flowers in May 
And I'll still love you as I did in yesterday 

Some singers repeat the chorus, Tommy Duncan sang the whole thing through twice on the Tiffany Transcriptions. Hope this helps.
