Analysis of Valentine
Oh tell me, oh my darling,
Will you be my Valentine?
Can you promise for forever
That you always will be mine?
When I'm old and tired and weary
Will you stay right by my side
And lend an arm to lean on
When my bones are getting tired?
Will you sit with me at sunrise
As we watch the day begin
Will you hold and kiss me gently
Let me feel the love within
We will hold our hands together
As we walk upon the shore
And talk about our dreams and plans
For life forever more.
And as the sun begins to set
We'll sit and dream again
And whisper words of love and hope
As we enjoy life's sweet refrain.
