"Lupercalia"..The ancient festival Where the Romans paid tribute to love With songs and drink, they chased the night Seeking fortune From above had I been there, I wouldn't have went Why choose a petal over the bouquet? They asked their gods for too little Lupercalia is every day I wonder how many of them knew Perhaps Much to their chagrin That What they dedperately sought from above Slept quietly within Love's the thing that sets us free From the dark despair of torment I refuse to celebrate that once a year So I'll honor it every moment If true love blossoms sweetly And blooms For you and your lover You have found something rare indeed That some might never discover No, it doesn't matter what day it is It's my truth that I must beckon For what has happened inside this battered heart I'll celebrate that every second
