Two lovers tied the knot and rang their wedding chimes. Love was in the air to all who stood and stared. The entire town was there. Got one man really mad. Staring from a far feeling tipsy from the bar... Was the father of the bride who wasn't up to par. He had been the one who spoiled all the fun. He cursed his in-law son in hopes that he would run. As the father disapproved, the groom had yet to move. With his beaty eyes still glued... He didn't know what else to do. He then heard someone shout. A woman's voice within the croud. "They're in love she screamed out loud... So for that you should be proud. It was then when he had realized as the tears leaked from his eyes. Everyone was so suprised when he began to apologize. He was wrong he did admit. Saddened by his sudden fit. All the wiskey that he sipped... Intensified the way he flipped. He than began confessing that his daughter had his blessing. He stopped his second guessing when he finally learned his lesson. He raised a glass of wine to toast the groom and bride. Their wedding turned out fine... On that day called Valentine's. “On A Day Called Valentine’s”
Once upon a time… on a day called Valentine’s…
Two lovers tied the knot and rang their wedding chimes.
Love was in the air to all who stood and stared.
The entire town was there.
Got one man really mad.
Staring from a far feeling tipsy from the bar…
Was the father of the bride who wasn’t up to par.
He had been the one who spoiled all the fun.
He cursed his in-law son in hopes that he would run.
As the father disapproved, the groom had yet to move.
With his beaty eyes still glued…
He didn’t know what else to do.
He then heard someone shout.
A woman’s voice within the croud.
“They’re in love she screamed out loud…
So for that you should be proud.
It was then when he had realized as the tears leaked from his eyes.
Everyone was so suprised when he began to apologize.
He was wrong he did admit.
Saddened by his sudden fit.
All the wiskey that he sipped…
Intensified the way he flipped.
He than began confessing that his daughter had his blessing.
He stopped his second guessing when he finally learned his lesson.
He raised a glass of wine to toast the groom and bride.
Their wedding turned out fine…
On that day called Valentine’s.

We met last, under the same pipal tree Where we promised a long true love. But, we three, you, me and tree, parted in misery, Pipal now leaned down that once was proud of. The day we pledged, the cuckoo sang song of glory, On dancing twig, celebrated and wished our union for An eternity, the butterflies kissed your nose flowery, Now, forlorn bird and colour-winged flies’ tears pour. Pipal fell sad, its buds are dead, it sighs slow and Last, if you comeback as comes the spring, Pipal and its comrades would gather in music band, In glee, all we shall live happily, and love?s song sing. O’ my oyster, oyster love Here I am again, in groans and pains, I and pipal, pale and feeble wish of Your return to the same lanes. Don’t break pledge, you made, I'll die, I said, Repent you then; but, I won't return from away-land. O’my oyster, oyster love,
Here I am again, in your hand,
Feel me within; smell me around, O’ dove,
It’s since, we parted as from hand goes sand.

We met last, under the same pipal tree
Where we promised a long true love.
But, we three, you, me and tree, parted in misery,
Pipal now leaned down that once was proud of.

The day we pledged, the cuckoo sang song of glory,
On dancing twig, celebrated and wished our union for
An eternity, the butterflies kissed your nose flowery,
Now, forlorn bird and colour-winged flies’ tears pour.

Pipal fell sad, its buds are dead, it sighs slow and
Last, if you comeback as comes the spring,
Pipal and its comrades would gather in music band,
In glee, all we shall live happily, and love?s song sing.

O’ my oyster, oyster love
Here I am again, in groans and pains,
I and pipal, pale and feeble wish of
Your return to the same lanes.

Don’t break pledge, you made, I’ll die, I said,
Repent you then; but, I won’t return from away-land.
