As Only You Know How

As only you know how Long after the pretty red roses have withered and dropped all of their petals to the floor As the empty heart-shaped chocolate boxes hit the trash cause they ain’t got no more And the ink fades from the Valentine’s Day card saying “please be mine” many years from now My dreams will be fulfilled, my fears vanquished, made to feel complete as only you know how Every February, sweethearts re-kindle, while new loves spread their wings to take flight Sent her flowers at work, lots of kisses on the card, made her a special dinner tonight Went all out with the trimmings, spared no expense, she kissed your cheek and said take a bow Mark the feeling and be sure to let her know it, baby make me glow inside as only you know how Me I don’t need chocolates, pretty cards with cute sayings, or hearts all over my clothes I just need you near, so I can pull you in close, say I love you and kiss the tip of your pretty nose Take a minute to look to the Heavens to offer thanks that it was me He chose to endow With an angel who could love me and make me happy all my days as only you know how Tim Windisch 02/04/2022
