Break The Chains From Your Heart

I sent my girl a Valentine
and asked if she loved me.
A Valentine at least not mine
is not all it's cracked up to be.

I was feeling fine till I got mine,
she said I will wait and see
if you are just a fly by night
she would keep an eye on me.

I asked my girl will you kiss me?
That made her face turn red.
She said she wouldn't kiss me
so I kissed her instead.

I asked her will you marry me?
How soon could we be wed?
Sure she said I will marry you
when everyone else is dead.

I waited till she was one hundred and one
and I was one hundred and ten
Then I asked her again will you marry me?
But she wouldn't say yes there and then.

I said my darling don't decline
please remember auld lang syne.
Darling it is now or never
now won't you be my Valentine.

You know my love will not resign
love live on eternally
Only love and diamonds are forever
break the chains from you hear and set if free.

When I think back on the wasted years
my tears like rain drops start
Why can't I free her doubtful mind
And warm her loved starved heart.
