Here are the lyrics from My Dear Valentine:
Once upon a time
You whispered softly in my ear
Loving words and fairy tales
That I longed to hear
I gave you my body and soul
And you took control
As you slowly swept me up
And carried me away
You told me pretty lies
As I held on to you tight
You knew how to get your way
Ignorance was bliss in your warm embrace
Long ago
You used to want me
Now, it's all so far away
But you still haunt me
And take me back to yesterday
Ev'ry now and then
I drown in thoughts of yesterday
And the fool's paradise
That you blew away
I feel you beside me again
And remember when
You came to my window
On a dark and stormy day
Baby, I need you now
Tonight, I'm crubling down
Sinking in the memories
Shadows of you keep washing over me
Long ago
You used to want me
Now, it's all so far away
But you still haunt me
And take me back to yesterday
So long ago (repeat 8 times)
Baby, I need you now
(I need you right now, boy, 'cause)
Tonight, I'm crubling down
Sinking in the memories
Shadows of you keep washing over me
Long ago
You used to want me
Now, it's all so far away
But you still haunt me
Long ago
You used to want me
Now, it's all so far away
But you still haunt me
Valentinstag
