about

Jazz-pop for sad Valentines.

lyrics

My Valentine
Dark chocolates by the bed
A dozen roses red
Gold locket where a secret lies
Black river slowly streaks
Mascara down her cheeks
From pools of sadness in here eyes

My Valentine
Don't let the fortunes of love turn you colder
We'll make it through, you'll see
My Valentine
I'll take the weight of the world off your shoulder
Give it to me, give it to me

Pink angel on a card
Sharp arrow through a heart
Blue note within that leads nowhere
One final passage penned
A chapter at an end
Grey melancholy fills the air

You know that you could wait forever and a day
For a random ray of hope to somehow shine and light your way
And then chase away the shadows that surround your broken heart
That broken heart

My Valentine
The whims of the young cost the same when you're older
For love is blind, not free
My Valentine
I'll take the cross that you bear from your shoulder
Give it to me, give it to me
