Won't You Be My Valentine 1908 'Little Nemo'

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 22 Jun 2004

Just before the sun of Springtime,
drives old Winter's glow away.
Comes the wedding bell and ring time.
Time when lover's hearts are gay.
It is then you send your greeting,
Pictured verse that says:
"Be Mine."
On the day of lover's meeting,
Day of good Saint Valentine.

Won't you be my Valentine,
sweetheart mine, maid divine.
If you look for love sincere,
I am here, waiting near,
Darling take me, don't forsake me,
Be my Valentine,
I am lonely, want you only,
Be my Valentine.

Won't you be my Valentine,
sweetheart mine, maid divine.
If you look for love sincere,
I am here, waiting near,
Darling take me, don't forsake me,
Be my Valentine,
I am lonely, want you only,
Be my Valentine.

'Tis my fondest recollection,
that bright day so long gone by.
When the boy and girl affection,
we were school mates, you and I.
But my love was still unspoken,
I was bashful, did not dare,
till I sent you Cupid's token,
with its verse and pictures fair.

Won't you be my Valentine,
sweetheart mine, maid divine.
If you look for love sincere,
I am here, waiting near,
Darling take me, don't forsake me,
Be my Valentine,
I am lonely, want you only,
Be my Valentine.

Won't you be my Valentine,
sweetheart mine, maid divine.
If you look for love sincere,
I am here, waiting near,
Darling take me, don't forsake me,
Be my Valentine,
I am lonely, want you only,
Be my Valentine.
