Valentine
Kristen Alderson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
no way to speak
I would still hear you
If there were no tears
no way to feel inside
I'd still feel for you
and even if the sun refused to shine
even if romance ran out of rhyme
until the end of time
you're all I need, my love, my valentine
All of my life
I have been waiting for
all you give to me
you've opened my eyes
and showed me how to love unselfishly
I've dreamed of this a thousand times before
but in my dreams I couldn't love you more
I will give you my heart
untill the end of time
you're all I need, my love, my valentine
and even if the sun refused to shine
even if romance ran out of rhyme
you would still have my heart
until the end of time
cause all I need is you my valentine
oh
you're all I need, my love, my valentine
In these lyrics, Kristen Alderson expresses her deep feelings of love towards someone special in her life. She emphasizes that even if words were not enough to express her love or if she were unable to cry, she would still be deeply connected to this person. The love is so strong that even if love songs ran out of inspiration or if the sun stopped shining, their love would still last until the end of time. The singer uses the symbol of Valentine to signify the significance of this person's presence in her life, stating that he is all she needs.
The second half of the lyrics continue to express the importance of this person's influence on her life. The singer explains how this person has changed her perspective on love, opening her eyes to the "unselfish" way to love another person. She describes how she has dreamed of a love like this before, but the reality is so much better. The song ends with the repetition of the idea that this person is all she needs, and he will continue to have her heart until the end of time.
