As I was walking down by old 
Thames side
Oh my foot and my heart seem to falter
And there you were standing by a 
Custom House landing
Like Venus risen out of the water
And they say it’s because, well, 
I’m a fool in love
That I swear there’s no beauty before you
And those that deny or think that 
I lieWell oh, those are the ones who never saw you
Oh, there never was anyone so perfect as you
As you stood there and smiled to greet me
And I searched for a phrase to capture your ways
Well, that’s a task that'll always defeat me
And they say it’s because, oh, 
I’m a fool in love
That I swear there’s no beauty before you
But those that deny or think that 
I lieWell those are the ones who never saw you
And they say it’s because 
I’m a fool in love
That I swear there’s no beauty before you
And those that deny or think that 
I lieWell oh, those are the ones who never saw you
