Valentine
HAWLEY Richard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sing me a lullaby, 'cause I'm sleepy
I'm scared you don't need me anymore
Bring me to the light of the morning
Take me through this night till the dawning
Oh, I see a warning in yours eyes
We don't need no valentines, no, no
Don't need no roses
'Cause it just take me back in time, no, no
Now you're not here
Hold me just tonight, sleep will tend me
Save me from lonely hours, there's so many
I won't get any sleep tonight
And don't need no valentines, no, no
Don't need no roses
'Cause it just take me back in time, no, no
Now you're not here anymore, not anymore
Don't need no valentines, no, no
Don't need no roses
'Cause it just take me back in time, no, no
When you left me lonely
And I won't drink no aged wine, no, no
Now you're not here anymore, not anymore
Not anymore, not anymore
In "Valentine," Richard Hawley sings about the fear of losing the love of his life. He asks his lover to hold him in their arms and sing him a lullaby as he's afraid he's not needed anymore. The first verse talks about his fear of abandonment, and he pleads with his partner to be with him till the morning. However, in their eyes, he sees a warning, maybe a sign that the relationship is not going great.
The chorus talks about not wanting valentines or roses as they remind him of a time when his lover was with him. Now that they are not together anymore, those things only take him back in time to the moments they shared. Hawley's lover is not there anymore, and he feels lonely and believes he won't sleep that night. In the final verse, he says he does not need aged wine, which could be a metaphor for him not wanting to relive memories of the past when he had his lover beside him.
Overall, Hawley's "Valentine" can be interpreted as a plea for love, a desire to be needed, and a fear of losing someone. The song's slow melody and lyrics perfectly capture the emotional turmoil of someone who feels like their world has crumbled without the person they love.

Hold me in your arms, may they keep me
Please embrace me and let me feel safe and loved
Sing me a lullaby, 'cause I'm sleepy
Sing a song to comfort me and help me fall asleep
I'm scared you don't need me anymore
I'm afraid that you no longer want to be with me
Bring me to the light of the morning
Help me see a brighter future
Take me through this night till the dawning
Stay with me until morning and make me feel safe
Oh, I see a warning in yours eyes
I can sense that something is wrong based on the way you look at me
We don't need no valentines, no, no
We don't need a special day to show our love
Don't need no roses
Gifts aren't necessary to prove love
'Cause it just take me back in time, no, no
It reminds me of when we were together before
Now you're not here
I miss you
Hold me just tonight, sleep will tend me
Just for tonight, let's be close and let me feel safe and secure
Save me from lonely hours, there's so many
Please don't leave me alone, I feel very lonely
I won't get any sleep tonight
I'll be up worrying and unable to rest
And don't need no valentines, no, no
We don't need a special day to show our love
When you left me lonely
I felt abandoned and alone when you left me
And I won't drink no aged wine, no, no
I won't try to relive the past and pretend everything is okay
Now you're not here anymore, not anymore
You're gone and I feel lost without you
Not anymore, not anymore
I can't go back to the way things were before

Vidrio empañado me acerco menos estrellas
Estrellas y luces de ciudad
Meterse duro con las srogas o ellas se meten duro contigo
Montana r city from italy
Lo bueno para superar la ausencia de lo bueno o malo malo
Lloro o canto lo q puedo
