I am a little Valentine,
Red and white,
With ribbons and lace,
I am a beautiful sight.
I can say ‘I LOVE YOU’,
On Valentine’s Day,
Just put me in an envelope,
And give me away.
I put my hands together ,
This is how I start
I curve my finger right around,
And I can make a heart!
I can say ‘I LOVE YOU’,
On Valentine’s Day,
Just put me in an envelope,
And give me away.
I am a little Valentine,
Red and white,
With ribbons and lace,
I am a beautiful sight.
I can say ‘I LOVE YOU’,
On Valentine’s Day,
Just put me in an envelope,
And give me away.
