And they say it’s because I’m a fool in love
Well, that’s a task that'll always defeat me
Well oh, those are the ones who never saw you
That I swear there’s no beauty before you
And those that deny or think that I lie
As you stood there and smiled to greet me
And there you were standing by a Custom House landing
And they say it’s because, oh, I’m a fool in love
And I searched for a phrase to capture your ways
And those that deny or think that I lie
And they say it’s because, well, I’m a fool in love
Like Venus risen out of the water
That I swear there’s no beauty before you
That I swear there’s no beauty before you
Well those are the ones who never saw you
Oh, there never was anyone so perfect as you
But those that deny or think that I lie
