ALTERNATE LYRICS:


VALENTINES’S DAY

Cupid was just some poor romantic kid
Who shot off his bow and just didn’t know
The damage he did
Finding his mark on the luckiest hearts
While so many wait to be found
But once a year
He used to come around, and say--

It’s Valentine’s Day
It’s Valentine’s Day
And in its time
Love will find its own way
For every heart
That lives as one
Your day will come

Out of my dreams, out of the blue you came
Riding the wings of impossible things
That happen just the same
Cupid tries and his arrow flies
Til one day his arrow flies true
That’s what I found
The day I found you

It’s Valentine’s Day
It’s Valentine’s Day
and in its time
Love will find its own way
For every heart
That lives as on
Your day will come

It’s Valentine’s Day
It’s Valentine’s Day

VALENTINE’S DAY

Cupid was just some fat annoying kid
Who shot off his bow and just didn’t know
The damage he did
But Aphrodite in her silver light
And Venus in her shimmering gown
Once a year
They used to come around, and say…

It’s Valentine’s Day
It’s Valentine’s Day
And in its time
Love will find its own way
For every heart
That lives alone
We have prepared a home

Out of the sky, down from the clouds
They came
Riding the wings of impossible things
That happen just the same
Aphrodite, with the smile of a child
And Venus with her eyes of green and blue
There at my door
To tell me once more…

It’s Valentine’s Day
It’s Valentine’s Day
And in its time
Love will find its own way
For every heart
That lives alone
We have prepared a home
