Lyrics

HER VALENTINE

She was a fresh, young English rose
Who met a soldier from New York
He was everything she dreamed back then
An officer and a gentleman
They married in her row house home
Posed for one, quick Kodachrome
A Liverpool lass to a Brooklyn life
A GI Joe, a soldier's wife

He was Her Valentine, her Christmas wish
The one she danced the Lindy with
The liutenant who made all her dreams come true
February fourteen, nineteen-forty-two

His mother didn't understand
A war bride from a distant land
But grandkids 1,2,3 and 4
Changed her mind forevermore
She said he loved Sinatra even more than Bing
But he loved his country more than anything
And that wedding snapshot still recalls
The Greatest Generation of them all

(CHORUS)

Now sixty February's gone
Tonight they turn the radio on
Frankie's croonon's soft and slow
and you can hear her whisper low

You were my Valentine, my Christmas wish
The one I danced the lindy with
The liutenant who made all my dreams come true
February fourteen, nineteen forty-two
