Write Me a Love Song
One day I’ll get it right—
I’ll send my love on time—
the perfect Valentine.
I think of her so much
I forget she’s on my mind
Until I’m left to just repine.
One day I’ll make her see
I need her just the same,
The way that she needs me.
Because if good intents were flowers,
There’d be roses every hour
I meant to treat her as my queen.
She’d say “Write me a love song, or take me out for tea.
I want to feel special, to know you still love me.
It doesn’t have to be too fancy or too fine—
I just want every day to feel like Valentine’s.”
One day I’ll plan ahead
For tomorrow comes too soon
And weeks pass in afternoons.
And the seed I plant right now
Will be fruit someday somehow.
Love takes some work to stay in bloom.
She’d say “Write me a love song, or take me out for tea.
I want to feel special, to know you still love me.
It doesn’t have to be too fancy or too fine—
I just want every day to feel like Valentine’s.”
And she’s worth all the extra efforts I could make,
And so I want there to be no mistake this time.
She’d say “Write me a love song, or take me out for tea.
I want to feel special, to know you still love me.
It doesn’t have to be too fancy or too fine—“
Just so she will know she’s still my Valentine
