My Valentine (Lyrics)

This piece is written from the original prose (also called My Valentine).

My love's not contained inside a card,

never wrapped up neat with a bow.

It grew in the quiet of everyday things,

Inside the years only we could know.

Gold in the laughter, silver in the scars,

woven in the tapestry of who we are.

And the days go by, unremarkable and true,

but there’s a place inside me

that I keep only for you.

No boxes, no ribbons, no practiced lines,

just this earnest, this longing heart of mine.

Coffee on mornings that all look the same,

keys in the door, the sounding of your name.

Love hides easy in ev’ry small routine,

with gestures that go unseen.

And the days go by, unremarkable and true,

but there’s a place inside me

that I keep only for you.

No boxes, no ribbons, no practiced lines,

just this earnest, this longing heart of mine.

The future unfurls before us,

like a slow sunrise,

I’ll walk towards the light with you,

with a love that never dies.

And the days go by, unremarkable and true,

As pure, as beautiful, as the morning dew.

No boxes, or promises, still no practiced lines,

just this earnest, this longing heart of mine.

And the days go by, unremarkable and true,

As pure, as beautiful, as the morning dew.

And it's true my love, my sweet valentine,

That this heart is yours, and you'll always be mine.
