HAPPY DAY AFTER VALENTINE'S

Sing to me not the usual Valentine’s Day aria

Save the fancy candle lights and the commonplace gala

‘cause there are special occasions the days after Valentine’s

And there are special places that lack California sunshine

Lovers grow tired of the Valentine’s tale
Roses are drooping and chocolates are stale
Shopkeepers of bonbons hosting a half off sale
Yet always good wishes leave a trail

Through perishing times and legends of betrayal
To the hearts of those where love does prevail

So be I will not your pretty little Valentine

For lies breed on truth told with good intent

Passionately woven delicately wind

Into the most enchanting twine

Gorgeous you may want me dressed in its shine

But seek I shall not ‘cept clothing for the soul divine

In the dusk of fate I warily go

No place to hide - this I rightly know

To watch your world through a crystal dome

Dancing snowflakes fill this sojourner’s home

Farewell I will bid you my precious Valentine

Our paths are laid since the dawn of time

Though the sun and moon may doubt

Doubt me not my unspoken vow

To dust I return and through dust I will plough

Deep beneath the earth a love you can do without

Send me off with a rainbow and don’t let out that sough

Only to a peaceful heart shall envy bow

So wipe off the tears that you will surely discover

Are but stars in the night and diamonds left for another

Happy Day after Valentine’s my rhinestone lover =)

Spare me that life, a life with burning color
