The Youthful Valentine
Boy:
I spotted something on the ground
A crumpled valentine
And when I picked it up I found
This valentine was mine
"Why won't she be my valentine?
She turned her face away
Come back and be my valentine
Oh please come back and stay."
But still she walked the path ahead
A glance she did not waste
I tossed away the heart of red
And ran to her in haste.
"Why won't you be my valentine?
Don't turn your face away
Come back and be my valentine
Oh please come back and stay."
Girl:
"I cannot be your valentine
Because my heart could break
If all my heart were bound in thine
Perhaps my heart you'd take."
Boy:
"Oh won't you be my valentine?
Your heart I'd never break
Were all your heart bound up in mine
I ne'er your heart would take."
Girl:
"So sweet you are to seek me out
So kind to understand
I did not mean to run or pout
So please accept my hand,
"Because I'll be your valentine
I'll turn no more away
Oh please do place your hand in mine
For I am here to stay."
