Valentine
Sam Way Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hmm, Hmmm
Hmm, Hmm, Hmmm, Hm
Hmmm, Hmmm, Hmm, Hmm, Hm, Hmm

Listen lightly
The soul makes a thousand journeys
The heart makes only one
You just moved me
Showed me some secret beauty
Hollowing out what it means to love
Let it be the making of us, oh sweet one

Hmm, Hmmm
Hmm, Hmm, Hmmm, Hm
Hmmm, Hmmm, Hmm, Hmm, Hm, Hmm

Feels familiar
But look what it took to get back here
The brave must carry on
Just go gently
This river will reach the sea
Dare to believe
What only angels learn to see
Let it be the piece that makes us complete

Let us be, let us be
All we can be

Hmm, Hmmm
Hmm, Hmm, Hmmm, Hm
Hmmm, Hmmm, Hmm, Hmm, Hm, Hmm

Hmm, Hmmm




Hmm, Hmm, Hmmm, Hm
