Lyrics
A silver child of Venus
A laughing star of the East
A graceful sailing clipper ship
Glowing red in a sunset breeze
A beauty that has launched
A thousand cedar ships
And melted hardened metal
From Apollo?s molten lips
Just an airy garden sprite
In twilight?s dimming light
You trip the light fantastic
On a dark and cheerless night
A silver child of Venus (CHORUS)
A laughing star of the East
A graceful sailing clipper ship
Glowing red in a sunset breeze
Like a snowy comet trace
Sketching an artist?s face
You crashed my pearly gates
In a gown of Belgian lace
Like a flaming meteor
Shooting through oaken doors
You warmed my frozen core
And rowed my blackened oars
From the mountains of the moon
Through the woods of Cameroon
From your hair down to your toes
In silken ribbons and bows
(CHORUS)
Eighth Wonder of the World
Winged Victory of a girl
A glimmering ruby pearl
In a windy feline swirl
On a soprano?s opening night
Your voice scales the heights
Your dancing on the stage
Begins my golden age
(CHORUS Fade Out)
