Roses are red
Violet are blue
I love you with all my heart
You are the only one for me
Happy Valentine's Day

Every time I see you
You make me glow
I can't live without you because
I see two worlds come together
All our hopes and dreams will finally came true
Happy Valentine's Day
Ryan
You have a cute smile
You're missing piecing of my heart
There is something about you and just way you are
I can't help it to fall in love with you each and every day
I know you will want me to be in your arms forever
Happy Valentine's Day
Ryan

I would do anything to be with you
Two worlds come together
My heart will finally have the piece it been looking for and is you and noone else
Happy Valentine's Day
Ryan
I got lost in your eyes
Everything about you is special to me

Happy Valentine's Day

If heart is all we searching for
Can you ever give me chance to be with you?

I never make on my own without you here by myside
Happy Valentine's Day
Ryan
