Jewel of the Ocean

So silvery-still comes morning,

golden orange with first light;

green emerald in the daytime,

diamond sparkling in the night.

Ruby red wine fills our glasses,

pearls welcome me to your neck;

the hypnotic aroma of sea salt

says it’s time we go below deck.

Tomorrow, Jewel of the Ocean,

is what you shall again be. But,

tonight, sweet mythical maiden,

you're here making love to me.
