Lyrics

  1. Gift of the Gods of Thrace
    Blest with immortal grace
    Was beautiful Pandora
    And of her charms were born
    Jewels that still adorn
    Lovely woman, in whose eyes we can see
    How jewels came to be

Refrain
The sapphire stole its azure from eyes like skies above
The diamond found its radiance in eyes aglow with love
The pearl is but a teardrop that’s born of lover’s sighs
The Jewels of Pandora shine in ev’ry woman’s eyes

  1. Tokens of newborn love
    Rubies are mem’ries of
    The kisses of Pandora
    And to each trusting heart
    Emeralds still impart
    Tender longings that will ever reveal
    The jewels eyes conceal
