Lyrics
LILIES FOR MY VALENTINE
Verse 1
In this situation
Ignorance is bliss
Then from deep inside
Comes the truth I missed
Bridge
I was safely sleeping
In this dreamy slumber
To be woken
By the sound of your thunder
Chorus
You sent me lilies for my valentine
Oh, now what a way to say goodbye
You really took me by surprise
See, I didn?t know our love had died
Verse 2
You?ve given information
Only lovers fear
It?s coming fast to haunt me
That you?ve disappeared
Bridge 2
With my bed of roses
And my burning candle
Sad and lonely
Having thoughts I can?t handle
Chorus
You sent me lilies for my valentine
Oh, now what a way to say goodbye
?cos you really took me by surprise
No, I didn?t see it in your eyes
Middle 8
So long baby
Now I can see
When I wipe away
The tears of my grief
I was crazy
Over the thought of you
That I didn?t stop to realise
You don?t feel it like I do
Like I do
Repeat chorus
Lilies for my valentine, lilies for my valentine, lilies for my valentine
