I watch the valentine parade
roses and hearts and lemonade
couple and couple, hand in hand
requesting love songs from the band
they all get up to dance
i'd love to join them if i only had the chance

old man is staring at the moon
his life has come and gone too soon
in boxes on the attic floor
love letters sent before the war
at least somebody cared, however long ago
there's no nostalgia when there's no past to know

i'm still young
but it still passed me by
i'm still young
and it still passed me by
the valentine parade
