My Valentine, How You Do Shine - 1 - Valentine's Collection 2020

1.
My Valentine, how you do shine, 
your kisses taste of love’s own wine, 
you are the love on which I dine. 
In eternal grace, a song is sung, 
once again love’s bell has been rung, 
by love’s stinger, I have been stung.

It comes from the lips of an angel, 
the sweet kiss that loves can foretell, 
stand before me, down in the dell. 
Our song is love, the eternal dream, 
within my mind, you are love’s theme, 
you are ever my love supreme.

Our song is from a heart of gold, 
the wondrous story that is told.
2.
The wondrous story that is told, 
a passion that has come from old, 
you are the heart that e’er runs gold. 
It is your heart that shines so bright, 
you are love’s dream throughout the night, 
you take me to the highest height.

Your heart does sing triumphal praise, 
you are beauty before my gaze, 
in all my dreams, you do amaze. 
Sing love’s song and my fire shall light, 
forever, your star shall shine bright, 
my beloved, sing in our night.

I take your hand, our story told,
it makes our hearts once more run gold
3.
It makes our hearts once more run gold, 
our hearts weep joy, our story told, 
for your sweetheart, my love is sold.
My soul fills with light when you sing, 
what love, to my heart, you do bring, 
now, you are my everything.

You are beauty, you are glory, 
what joy within our love story, 
you are ever love’s victory.
Eyes bright, full of love they do shine, 
our love does sing, my Valentine, 
in love’s desire, we both do dine,

In love’s endeavour, we are bold, 
to you, my heart, I have sold.
 4.
To you, my heart, I have sold, 
in the joy of love, a heart beats bold, 
my soul is light, glory foretold.
My love, Diane, your beauty sings, 
your eyes shine bright, what joy love brings, 
we two do fly on golden wings.

I fall into their depths, my love, 
now, you shall ever be my dove, 
our love is wonder, high above.
Share in my passion, my deep desire, 
shine on, my love, light my heart’s fire, 
I play for you, an angel’s lyre.

My beloved, take me to Mars,
as we hear love’s thousand guitars,
