Lyric Scarlet

(Anderson / Berenyi)

Nothing can eclipse
Tender fingertips
Youthful girlish hips
Crimson pouting lips

But what d you say when nothing s meant
What d you do when all is spent

Faithless faceless night
Drenched in empty light
Scarlet starlet s bright
Vanity s delightCream of life you ll find in her
First to come she s first to serve

Turned away you re out of luck
Spurned again
No one to fall in love
