Long Past Valentine

I don’t need a date in red

To tell me what I feel

I see forever every time

You lean in close to me

You lay your head upon my chest

Like it’s always been that way

This kind of love don’t come and go

It ain’t built to fade

So I’m loving you long past Valentine

When the cards are gone, the roses die

When the house gets quiet

And the years roll by

I’ll still reach for you every night

This ain’t just a moment in time

It’s a fire that don’t burn out

I’m loving you long past Valentine

Yeah… I’m loving you now

Someday my hands’ll shake a little

Holding yours in the dark

We’ll wear the years like broken-in boots

And call it honest hearts

We’ll have scars we didn’t plan on

Laugh lines and worn-out dreams

But I’ll take every mile with you

If you’ll walk ‘em with me

Yeah, I’m loving you long past Valentine

Past the sweet and the hard times

When the words feel heavy

And the nights run long

I’ll be right here holding on

This ain’t just hearts and cheap wine

It’s truth laid bare, no doubt

I’m loving you long past Valentine

Yeah… I’m loving you now

If this world wears us down

If the shine wears thin

I’ll love you in the quiet

Where it really lives

When there ain’t nobody watching

And it’s just us two

That’s when I’ll love you the loudest

Girl, that’s the truth

I’m loving you long past Valentine

When the years leave their mark on time

When the mirror don’t recognize

Who we used to be inside

I’ll still choose you every time

Ain’t a doubt about it now

I’m loving you long past Valentine

Yeah… I’m loving you now

No cards… no lines…

Just this heart… and all this time
