Valentine
Bruce Robison Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Would you be my Tennessee valentine
Hold me close and call me dear
One more time
We'll waltz in the moonlight
cnd kiss beneath the pines
Would you be my Tennessee valentine

I loved you then
I love you now
I pray that you will be mine
You hold the key
To my melody
c song that is just for you and me

Would you be my Tennessee valentine
Hold me close and call me dear
One more time
We'll waltz in the moonlight
cnd kiss beneath the pines
Would you be my Tennessee valentine

Heart to heart
Hand in hand
Our love was sweet harmony
We slipped out of tune
Way too soon
I'm still trying to find the key

So would you be my Tennessee valentine
Hold me close and call me dear
One more time
We'll waltz in the moonlight
cnd kiss beneath the pines




Would you be my Tennessee valentine
Would you be my Tennessee valentine
