Galatea
(Iliad & Odyssey B-Side)
Performed by Johnny Stranger
Written by Peter Anthony
I built a statue of you
To show how much I care
My lovely Galatea
I said a prayer to Aphrodite
To make you real
My lovely Galatea
Oh, if you were here with me
I would kiss you first
Then wrap you in my arms
And never let you go
But as you stand there still as stone
I feel my heart sing a lonely, sad note
Oh, if you were here with me
I would kiss you first
Then wrap you in my arms
And never let you go
Oh, Aphrodite, take pity on my soul
And bring to life my beautiful Galatea
I hear a rustle across the room
She’s there, alive
My lovely Galatea
I’m speechless as she wraps me in her arms
To kiss me to sleep
My lovely Galatea
Oh now that you are here with me
I’ll kiss you first
And wrap you in my arms
And never let you go
I love you, my beautiful Galatea
I love you
I love you
