Intro
verse 1
Valerie, please - believe
It never could work out
The time to make plans
Has passed
Faded away
verse 2
Ooh, the way you look
Makes my starry eyes shiver
Then I look awa-a-ay
Too much for one day
verse 3
One thing we share
Is an ideal of beauty
Treasure so rare
That even devils might care
verse 4
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
Verse 5
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
Instrumental
Verse 6
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
Verse 7
Deep in the night
Plying very strange cargo
Our soul ships pass by
Solo trips to the stars
In the sky
Verse 8
Gliding so far
That the eye cannot follow
Where do they go
We'll never know
