My lost valentine

Roses with a card that just said "shine"

Like you do, like we did, does love forgive every time

Roses, my lost valentine

I would have met you in new york once upon a time

I would have held your hand in the longest broadway line

But the sweeter the bloom, the sharper the vine

Roses, my lost valentine.

Could you have loved me through the winter once upon a time

In cold february when the mirror is unkind

When the flowers have all faded, when love is no longer blind

I would have sent you roses my lost valentine.

I would have sent you roses but it would not be kind

To whoever it is, is your this year's valentine

Who must someday find the thorn that you prefer your love blind

Roses, my lost valentine.

I would have sent you roses once upon a time

Roses with a card that just said "shine"
