To wake each day and see your smile
I know our love is true
Another day in paradise
So what’s a girl to do
Valentine’s Day comes once a year
I know I couldn’t wait
To share the joy we have each day
On such commercial fate
For every day with you my love
Is greater than before
For some it’s love on demand
To some it’s keeping score
I much prefer the flowers
You said were “just because”
Instead of “guilted tokens”
As every “good man” does
In poem & song I once again
Attest to how I care
For what we have runs deeper
A love that’s truly rare
And every day’s a holiday
A friendship that’s caught fire
So here’s to one more evening
Of passion & desire
