[Alt text: Page reads: On February 14, 1974, Meg and I celebrated Valentine’s Day. I had asked her what she wanted her gift to be and she told me she wanted a new apron. And that’s what she got. Then she sat me down in the living room and played her gift to me: “Valentine Song.” It was once only dining and dancing Evening kisses, morning smiles And then you said, “Let’s go off together Alone for a while” And I loved you at first for your wicked eyes And the laughter that loosens your bones And your soft curls And the passions that I’ve never known . . . . . . . . . . . Yes, we bargained for doubtful tomorrows But our past grows richer each day And more and more, I cannot see me going away With happiness here for our taking Resting easy, feeling strong As I delight in the life that we’re making I sing you this valentine song.]
