"Valentine" lyrics - NILS LOFGREN

Today I'm thinking about the world we live in
All the love and hate that's floating around
And all the times I've felt so lost and helpless
You've stood by me you never let me down
Still I keep throwing up these walls
Most of them I've built with stone
You tear them down and bridge the distance
Knowing 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 every day and night
Girl won't you be my valentine

Still I keep throwing up these walls
Most of them I've built with stone
You tear them down and bridge the distance
Knowing 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 every day and night
Girl won't you be my valentine
