Venus - Louis Philippe

Venus

Nothing came between us

But a never-ending summer

Or so he told her

Who was I to doubt his word

To change this perfect world of my Venus

Anyone who saw us

Could guess a season over

Turned to winter

But the rope that had me bound

Was never less than strong as are you

Pity you may feel

Pity me if you will

But I keep no place for pity in my heart

Laugh at what I say

Lose your love, lose a friend

But don’t say sorry, so sorry

For sorry I am not to have known Venus

What it meant to be us

For just a fleeting moment

Was no torment

But the sweetest glass of wine

For somehow you were mine

Oh my Venus

Nothing came between us

But a never-ending summer

Or so he told her

Who was I to doubt his word

To change this perfect world just for you

Pity you may feel

Pity me if you will

But I keep no place for pity in my heart

Laugh at what I say

Lose your love lose a friend

But don’t say sorry, so sorry

For sorry I am not to have known Venus

What it meant to be us

For just a fleeting moment

Was no torment

The sweetest glass of wine

For somehow you were mine

You’re my Venus
