Colors of February

The month of February is divine
For everything is colored shades of red
My heart is colored red of valentine

He whispered to this lonely heart of mine
I memorized the loving words he said
"The month of February is divine"

To prove his love he sent this lovely line
With single velvet rose of crimson red
"My heart is colored red of valentine"

He whispered as he sipped my glass of wine
And laid a velvet rose across my bed
"The month of February is divine"

But when he left the sun would cease to shine
I couldn't forget the haunting words he said
"My heart is colored red of valentine"

Though many years have slowly passed in time
I still recall the rose of crimson red
The month of February is divine
My heart is colored red of valentine
