My attempt to write a timeless Valentine's Day song. "Every year 'til the end of time, Honey will you be my Valentine?" PRO RECORDING
I sing for a living--mostly in restaurants--and Valentine's is always busy with couples. I know dozens of love songs but I couldn't think of a Valentine's Day song other than "My Funny Valentine," which really isn't that appropriate anyway. So I wrote one...
I saw you laughing with your friends and fell in love instantly
I got shy but then I noticed you were smiling at me
You came over and we talked, two or three hours went by
Then we shared a little kiss, sparks just started to fly
I’ve never been so sure of anything in my life
I’m in this for the long run, to the finish line, Ooh!
Hold me close, listen to my heart
Beating loud and fast, it won’t slow down
So every year, ‘til the end of time
Honey, will you be my Valentine?
Be my Valentine ‘til the end of time
If someone told me weeks ago that I’d fall so easily
In love so deep and wonderful, I'd have called them crazy
But now, just like a magic trick, you’ve got me under your spell
A passion bug has made me sick and I don’t wanna get well
You've changed me completely and it’s all for the better
I’m never gonna leave you, this is forever, Ooh!
Hold me close, listen to my heart
Saying you and I will never part
So every year, ‘til the end of time
Honey, will you be my Valentine?
Be my Valentine ‘til the end of time
Doot-doo-doo…
I’m going down this road with you, there’s no turning back
Side by side forever, baby, that’s a fact, Ooh!
Hold me close, listen to your heart
It surely knows we're going to be alright
So every year, ‘til the end of time
Honey, will you be my Valentine?
AD LIBS
You and I come from different worlds
There’s so much about you I wanna learn
'Cause you make everything seem brand new
I will always be in love with you
All I'm asking for is to be with the girl I adore
Every Valentine's Day 'til I'm old and grey
They'll be talking about us 'til the end of history
There'll never be a greater love than you and me
So every year, etc.
