Valentine's Day, or Any Day

Doug Clore
Have you wasted all your chances -
To be loved?
Don't you have one left for me.
Have you forgotten what romance is?
Can't you come play with me,
Take our chances and see.

Love isn't always for
The young and the foolish.
Open your heart to me.
Break through the chains of darkness,
Fearing pain and loneliness.
Join me in light that sets us free.

Have you wasted all your chances -
To be loved?
How can you say "have a nice day"?
Days are not nice without you.
And why do you say "see you later"?
Don't you think now could be later?

Love isn't always for
The young and the foolish.
Won't you open up to me?
I can't make promises that
No-one will get get hurt.
But nothing will hurt you worse
Than this nothing you've earned.

So open up your heart and fly to me.
Break your chains and run away free.
Rise from the darkness into the light,
And maybe you'll find romance tonight.
Yes maybe we'll find romance tonight.
