Happy St. Valentine's Day

A Happy St. Valentine's Day to all!

I thought that I'd post the lyrics to one of my favorite songs, Debra Laws's 1979 hit "Very Special," from the album of the same name. It was one of my favorite songs in high school (10th grade), it's an unforgettable love song, it's Debra Laws's one breakout hit, and it's a perfect St. Valentine's Day anthem. (I also think it's been a wedding standard for years, naturally enough.)

Here's a link to Rhapsody's free version in case you don't know the song.

VERY SPECIAL

All my love is all I have
And my dreams are Very Special
All my life I've looked for you
And today my dreams come true
You need me and I need you
Love and us is Very Special
Things you seem to do divine
You looked straight into my eyes
I know our love is meant to be
Cause our souls touched tenderly
Love is life and life is living, it's Very Special

In my heart it was you, only
Love is life, what dreams come true
And even though i can't have you, baby
Desires like these are true for you

All my love is all I have
And my dreams are Very Special
All my life I've looked for you
And today my dreams come true
You need me and I need you
Love and us is Very Special
Things you seem to do divine
You looked straight into my eyes
I know our love is meant to be
Cause our souls touched tenderly
Love is life and life is living, it's Very Special

In my heart it was you, only
Love is life, what dreams come true
And even though i can't have you, baby
Desires like these are true for you

All my love is all i have
And my dreams are very Special
All my life I've looked for you
And today my dreams come true
You need me and I need you
Love and us is Very Special
Things you seem to do divine
You looked straight into my eyes
I know our love was meant to be
Cause our souls touched tenderly
Love is life and life is living, Very Special

Boy ohh yea

Then your love excited me, baby
Days full of joy, love's sweet
Cannot keep this feeling inside, Dearie
Cause a girl like me has realized that

All my love is all I have
And my dreams are Very Special
All my life I've looked for you
And today my dreams come true
You need me and i need you
Love and us is Very Special
Things you seem to do divine
