Valentine

As she gazes from her window
There’s someone she’s waiting for
Satin slippers and invitations
Scattered around her on the floor
All the memories blend together
All the faces look the same
She holds a photo of a young man
Still, she can’t recall his name
But she remembers hearts and roses
I’ll be yours if you’ll be mine
She remembers hearts and roses
Will you be my Valentine?
Through the night, they danced together
Passion veiled in every word
Old flames and old heartaches
Strong emotions, now barely stirred
She beguiled them with her favours
Won them over with her charms
And the broken-hearted boy
Forgotten, in her lover’s arms
But she remembers hearts and roses
I’ll be yours if you’ll be mine
She remembers hearts and roses
Will you be my Valentine?
Now she’s standing at her window
See her from the street below
As she waves to every stranger
Crying out as they come and go
No more trails of handsome suitors
Leaving flowers at her door
And the young man in the photo
She doesn’t know him any more
But she remembers hearts and roses
I’ll be yours if you’ll be mine
She remembers hearts and roses
Will you be my Valentine?
