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."
