Here is a valentine

I made it just for you

With paper and ribbons

And lot's of Elmer's glue

I cut it with my scissors

And designed it with my paint

If I tell you that I love you

Do you promise not to faint

Sure as grape grows on the vine,

So sure you are my Valentine –

The rose is red, the violet is blue,

Lilies are fair and so are you!

The sky is high, the sea is deep.

Thinking of you I cannot sleep.

If you love me I love you

Nothing but death will part us too.

Oh, bring back my Bonny to me. 
Bring back, bring back,
Oh, bring back my Bonny to me, to me.
Bring back, bring back,

Last night as I lay on my pillow,

Last night as I lay on my bed,

Last night as I lay on my pillow,

I dreamed that my Bonny was dead.

Bring back, bring back,
Oh, bring back my Bonny to me, to me.
Bring back, bring back,
Oh, bring back my Bonny to me.

Oh, winds, you blow over the ocean, 
Oh, winds, you blow over the sea,
Oh, winds, you blow over the ocean,
Oh, bring back my Bonny to me.

Bring back, bring back,
Oh, bring back my Bonny to me, to me.
Bring back, bring back,
Oh, bring back my Bonny to me.

The winds have blown over the ocean,

The winds have blown over the sea,

The winds have blown over the ocean,

And brought back my Bonny to me.

Brought back, brought back

Brought back, brought back

Brought back my Bonnie to me.

Appendix

The symbols of St. Valentine’s Day.

HEART

A long time ago, people believed that all the emotions were found in the heart. In later years, they thought only the emotion of love was connected with the heart. The heart is still a symbol of love, and it is also a symbol of Valentine’s Day.

RED ROSE

The rose was the flower of Venus, the Roman goddess of love. Red is a color that stands for strong feelings. This is why the red rose is a flower of love.

RIBBONS

Ribbons go back to the days when ladies gave ribbons to their favorite knights when they went to war.

LACE

Lace comes from a latin word, it means “to catch”. Lace was supposed to catch the heart of a loved one.

Lace is a pretty fabric made by weaving together fine threads. Hundreds of years ago, women carried lace handkerchiefs. If a woman dropped her handkerchief, a man nearby might pick it up and return it to her. Sometimes she might drop her lace handkerchief on purpose to encourage romance.

Soon people thought of romance when they thought of lace. They began using paper lace to decorate chocolate boxes and Valentines cards.

GLOVES

Years ago, when a man proposed marriage to a woman, he “asked for her hand”. The hand became a symbol of marriage and love. Soon gloves also became a symbol of love.

RINGS

In some countries, men and women exchange rings when they become engaged or marry. Valentine’s Day is a popular day for giving an engagement ring. An engagement ring usually has a stone or jewel set in it.

LOVE KNOT

A love knot is a series of winding and interlacing loops with no beginning and no end. It is a symbol of endless love.

DOVES

Doves were thought to be favorite birds of Venus. They remain with the same mates all their lives. The males and females both care for their babies. These birds are symbols of loyalty and love. They are also symbols of Valentine’s Day.

CUPID

Cupid is a son of Venus, goddess of love. He could cause people to fall in love by piercing them with one of his magic arrows.

XXX

Lovers who affectionally sign “XXX”s to Valentine cards and letters are usually unware that the custom goes back to the early Christian era, when a cross mark, or “X”, conveyed the force of a sworn oath. It also was the first letter of the Greek word for Christ, Xristos.

People kissed a cross to emphasize their compete sincerity in an accord, as a Bible was frequently kissed when an oath was sworn upon it.

It was this practice of kissing the “X” that led to its becoming a symbol of a kiss.
