Sugar is sweet and I love you.

So sure you are my Valentine.
The rose is red, the violet is blue,
Lilies are fair and so are you.
▼ Roses are red, violets are blue,
Sugar is sweet and so are you.
▼ Wake up on this special day,
And read these words from me.
It’s not a dream. My love is true.
Look in my heart and see.
▼ Only you can make this world seem right
Only you can make the darkness bright
Only you and you alone can thrill me like you do
And fill my heart with love for only you.
▼ Though absent, still within my heart
Thy memory holds its place
Too firmly fixed for time or change
To ever it efface.

It’s Valentine’s, they say,
I choose you from among the rest,
The reason was I loved you best.

Darling sweet I love you.

Take my love to the dark-haired beauty.

And never say goodbye.
Please, my darling, say you’re mine,
I’ll love you until I die.
▼ I’ll be your sweet heart
If you will be mine
All of my life
I’ll be your Valentine.
▼ Round is the ring that has no end,
So is my love for you, my friend,
Again to take this in good part,
Along with it you have my heart.
But if you do the same refusal,
Pray burn this paper and my excusal.
refuse [rɪ’fju:zl] — відмова
to pray [preɪ] — молитися; благати, прохати
▼ I am like a cabbage
Divided into two;
The leaves I give to others
But the heart to you.
▼ Roses are red, violets are blue,
When I grow up,
I want to marry you.
▼ May beauty touch your life,
May peace bless your world,
May love warm your heart,
Happy Valentine’s Day!
