Julie's favorite Valentine songs

[Missy Vixen]

Hi everyone,

TOTAL vanity post. I just went trolling around on Rhapsody, and managed to find the following. I haven't heard it for years; I've always loved it. I present "Valentine" by Nils Lofgren, with a bit of assistance from Bruce Springsteen...

Valentine -
Today I'm thinkin' about the world we live in
All the love and hate that's floatin' around
All the times I felt so lost and helpless
You stood by me, you never let me down
Still I keep throwin' up these walls
Most of them I've built with stones
You tear 'em down and bridge the distance
Knowin' we ain't here to be alone
So let your blue heart open wide
Let's never leave our dreams behind
It would comfort and restore my pride
If you let me be your valentine
Our differences are part of life
Still love will pass the test of time
I want you everyday and night
Girl, won't you be my valentine
be my valentine
Be my valentine
Be my valentine


Here's my favorite song. Period. I love it. My favorite version, though, is Elvis Costello's.

My Funny Valentine

My funny Valentine, sweet comic Valentine,
you make me smile with my heart.
Your looks are laughable, unphotographable.
Yet, you're my favorite work of art.
Is your figure less than Greek ?
Is your mouth a little weak ?
When you open it to speak, are you smart ?
But don't change a hair for me, not if you care for me.
Stay little Valentine, stay!
Each day is Valentine's day.

Happy Valentine's Day to all,
Julie
