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
