Oh, This Sweet Love
It's Valentine's Day and I have something real special planned,
for my darling, darling sweet love!
It will be such a romantic evening for us two,
all day I have been beautified;
it began with a bubble bath,
oh, the jasmine scented water was so tranquil and divine!
I have cooked a yummy meal- his most loved,
and have his favourite deep red wine.
There are jasmine scented candles burning in every single room,
I have brushed my hair shiny,
and my lips are ruby red;
I will be wearing only a red satin slip and red high heels!
the bed has purple silk sheets,
the curtains are drawn closed.
Then, at last his key is turning the lock,
and I am ready to be held in his strong arms.
Oh, he is standing there smelling of the outdoors, fresh and clean,
in his hand, a perfect bouquet of red roses,
and a heart shaped box of chocolates!
He looks so handsome and I love him so much,
"and love is in the air tonight!" On our minds, and in our kisses!
The meal is lovely, the wine delicious;
his sweet, loving words sublime,
and we are kissing, oh this sweet love-
and I am falling, falling, falling . . .
weeping, weeping, weeping in my bed,
it was just a dream of another Valentine's night.
Tomorrow, I will walk in the deep snow and lay,
a red rose on his grave-
and my love will fill the air . . .
