Valentine

Love fills this one special day

Once a year in comes my valentine

It just so happens to be today

I am so thankful you are mine

I don’t need a present or flowers my love

What I crave has nothing to do with money

I need your arms surrounded me with a hug

Just through your lips words that call me honey

I really just need you by my side

Take my hand in our living room and lets dance

Lets not go out but tonight stay inside

Lets capture this moment and take a chance

Lets remember what kind of our love

We had before we drifted apart

Tonight, closer together we will move like a pair of doves

And remember we were blessed with a new start
