I am just an old dreamer, without a complaint.
Would you take me to your house?  Would you be a saint,
to my hungry and restless old heart,
my hungry and restless old heart?

Might be not much to you, but it keeps me alive,
like a Valentine’s day, and I wonder if I’ve
got some Valentine’s luck when I say
every day should be Valentine’s Day.

Oh, I want you again an again and again
If I’d not be your lover – I’d be a good friend
It’s so simple and plain, and it’s true
I’ve got eyes that can see only you.

We could move to a house with some smoke and a fence-
I can’t bribe you with gifts – please don’t take offence –
I could learn to be pleasing to you.
I could learn to be pleasing to you.

I am just an old dreamer, without a complaint.
Would you take me to your house?  Would you be a saint?
Make today into Valentine’s day.
I’ve a Valentine heart anyway.
