VENUS, MY SHINING LOVE.
Copyright, 1894, by Spaulding & Gray.
Words and Music by Geo. M. Cohan.
'Most ev'ry one has a sweetheart
With beautiful eyes that shine;
I'm not acquainted with your love.
But you're well acquainted with mine.
Excelling all other ladies,
Fairer than any by far;
You mast admit that the brightest of all
Is Venus, my shining star.
Chorus.
Venus, beautiful Venus. how bright you shine;
None shall e'er come between us, sweet Venus mine.
None as bright as my darling so far up above-
Venus, my beautiful Venus, my shining love.
Some say true love ne'er runs smoothly,
But with them I disagree;
Not a cross word has been uttered
'Twixt Venus, my loved one, and me.
Leading my star to the altar
Was my most beautiful dream;
When I compare her with Saturn or Mars,
Like darkness to her they seem.- Chorus.
