FRANKIE AVALON

The tempo is slightly faster than the moderate speed in the original version I often hear on the radio. Since Venus is the Roman goddess of love, the narrator is sure that what he requests of her can't be too much for her to grant. All he wants is a girl who will give him, and to whom he can give, a lifetime of love. The original version doesn't fade out, but this one does. Frankie had more hits, but this is the only one I ever hear on the radio.
