| Lyrics: | Love can absorb us In life’s early summers It’s so wondrous and so real The world gives it blessings To innocent lovers And smiles at the passion they feel When I think back on those times The joy you brought into my life In my heart you’ll always be my Valentine You’ll be my Valentine You’ll be my Valentine All the love I found in you Carries me through You’ll be my Valentine You’ll be my Valentine When the skies are grey My love, my life, will always be divine You’ll be my Valentine Words can grow colder When winter approaches The bonds of trust can fade away But our love stays simple We won’t take notice Cause our hearts remain the same And even through the troubled times Our love is warm and genuine You’ll always be my love, my life, my Valentine You’ll be my Valentine You’ll be my Valentine When the world outside is crazy Our love is still amazing You’ll be my Valentine You’ll be my Valentine When the skies are grey My love, my life, will always be divine You’ll be my Valentine (Dave Tough/Nate Strasser) |

Said Dave: "I enjoy making a living making music as there is something always new to learn. If you know one instrument, you can learn another. If you know how to engineer one style, you can always learn another. My main question I ask myself when writing and making music is "what gives you goosebumps". The mechanics of songwriting and engineering can get quite technical, however at the end of the day its what makes you feel something."
