My fault I’m without you, my deepest regret.
I can’t shake it off and I will not forget
That the time spent without you is my blame to bear,
You say it’s all right, but I know it’s not fair.
I have to do something although it’s impossible.
“I’ll make it be right,” I vow, my thoughts all full
Of schemes, most half-baked, that can turn back the clock.
But one thought remains. Now I’m awestruck and shocked.
I want to dance with you, though it won’t change the past,
And to gaze in your eyes, though the moment won’t last.
I want to hold you close to me in the short time we’ve got,
We might say that’s enough, but we both know it’s not.
I know what I want, when those notes soar like birds.
I want this song to be ours (though I don’t know the words).
I might not hum along well, and I can’t keep the beat.
I’ll apologize now if I step on your feet.
I know that you’re busy, and your time’s rarely free,
But I’d never forget—you shared that time with me.
Good things don’t last forever, and we’ll soon say goodbye.
We’ll smile, we’ll wave, but we’ll both want to cry.
Our dance will have ended, but my love never will.
I’ll say, “See you soon!” but I’ll be waiting until…
I can dance with you always, with our tears in the past,
And can gaze in those eyes that will leave me entranced.
I want to hold you close to me in the short lives we’ve got.
I might say that’s enough, but my greed says it’s not.
I’ll know what I want when our song soars like birds.
I’ll recall that it’s ours (but still won’t know the words).
I might not sing along well, and I can’t keep the beat.
And I’ll say, “Sorry!” each time that I step on your feet.
I know you’ll be busy, and your time’s rarely free,
But it means oh, so much when you make time for me.
I can’t shake it off and I will not forget
That the time spent without you is my blame to bear,
You say it’s all right, but I know it’s not fair.
I have to do something although it’s impossible.

I know you’ll be busy, and your time’s rarely free,
But it means oh, so much when you make time for me.
I know I can’t see you, but I hope that you’ll smile
And remember I’ll see you in not too long a while.
I don’t know what I’m doing, but I know what I feel,
It’s much more than emotion, something that’s far more real.
Is this what is meant by the words “love that’s true,”
When the one that I think about always is you?
We’re so far apart and we’re so far away,
But I still want to say, “Happy Valentine’s Day!”
