Well my foot and my heart seemed to falter
For there you were standing by Custom House Landing
Like Venus risen out of the water
[Chorus:]
And they'll say it's because I'm a fool in love
That I swear there's no beauty before you
But those that deny or think that I lie
Well those are the ones never saw you
O there never was anyone perfect as you
As you stood there and smiled to greet me
And I looked for a phrase to capture your ways
But that's a task will always defeat me
