Be my Valentine, for I        
Each day have thought of you.

My whole life couldn't manage what
Your ready smile can do,                   

             
Vanquishing my loneliness    
As though all light were new.
Let me be your Valentine    
Even as you're mine,                      
     Needing what I have to give     

 That each might each define 
 In friendship and in harmony, 
Now you, now I, the melody, 
Each helping each to shine.
