VENUS, MY SHINING LOVE. Copyright. 1894, by Spaulding & Gray. Words and Music by Geo. M. Cohan. 
Most ev'ry one has a sweetheart With beautiful eyes that shine; I'm not acquainted with your love, But you're well acquainted with mine. Excelling all other ladies, Fairer than any by far; You must admit that the brightest of all Is Venus, my shining star. 
Chorus. Venus, beautiful Venus, how bright you shine; None shall e'er come between as, sweet Venus mine. None as bright as my darling so far up above-Venus, my beautiful Venus, my shining love. 
But with them I disagree: Not a cross word has been altered 'Twixt Venus, my loved one, and me. Leading my star to the altar Was my most beautiful dream; When I compare her with Saturn or Mars, Lake darkness to her they seem.- Chorus.
