Beauty Queen

Valerie, please believe

It never could work out

The time to make plans

Has passed, faded away

Ooh, the way you look

Makes my starry eyes shiver

Then I look away

Too much for one day

One thing we share

Is an ideal of beauty

Treasure so rare

That even devils might care

Your swimming-pool eyes

In sea breezes they flutter

The coconut tears

Heavy-lidded, they shed

Swaying palms at your feet

You're the pride of your street

While you worship the sun

Summer lover of fun

Gold number with neighbours

Who said that you'll go far?

Maybe someday be a star

A fast mover like you

And your dreams will all come true

All of my hope

And my inspiration

I drew from you

Our life's pattern's drawn in sand

But the winds could not erase

The memory of your face

Deep in the night

Plying very strange cargo

Our soul-ships pass by

Solo trips to the stars in the sky

Gliding so far that the eye cannot follow

Where do they go, we'll never know
