Story Behind The Song
The Melody was written after an 8 year relationship in which I had just finished cancer treatment, my fiance was hit by a car and forgot who I was, and then we split. I was devastated, a car crashed into me on my motorcycle after having taken a 14,000 mile trip on it to Argentina and I then went through 3 years of rehab. The lyrics I finished 8 years later once I married my wife and repainted the picture of my life.

Lyrics
I said our moon would bathe us forever. Be my Valentine. You said the sun on our faces would never fade to medium gray. We paint our pictures, red heart jewels and children, hope and light. A sunset living under glass, us giving love our life. I'll paint us another when your brush is tired and let our colors flow. Lighten your gaze and lie by the window. It's you I want to know. Dream your dreams of me and I will dream of loving you. I lay my brush aside and see my Valentine anew.
