Story Behind the Song
My Valentine Day's song written for Elizabeth in 2001
Lyrics
Some like their lovers' looks or the way they walk
and while that's nice, what appeals to me is the way you like to talk:
No dissembling, no mental games, no delusional fantasy.
You tell me when I screw up, and that's just fine with me, for ...

I know where I stand with you. You tell the world just what it is you see,
with observations clear and free of illusions that will hide the truth.
And even when we disagree, I always welcome what you bring into the room.
In those moments when you're wondering what to do, I hope you'll stand with me.
Some bribe their lovers with food, flowers, or fancy jewels.
And some self-proclaimed experts on romance say deception must be the rule.

Negotiate with open arms, and then with great luck be blessed. And ..
(Chorus)
So let's stay here with feet on the ground if stars in our eyes.
I'd rather have your hand gripping mine than make love with a disguise.
Let's turn some earth, plant some seeds, and drip sweat on the ground.
Working side-by-side with you is the most honest work that I've found.
for ..
(Chorus)
