Lyrics to Be Mine by Paul Overstreet

On the 14th day of February 1922, A little red-headed country boy ran all the way to school All his buddies had a Valentine, for every girl they knew He had one in his pocket, made just for Betty-Lou Now every time he saw her his little heart would melt He didn’t know what love was but he sure knew how it felt He slowly walked up to her - not a word was said, He handed her his Valentine, and this is how it read: Here’s my heart, I want to give it to you It’s a little torn and tattered – made of paper and glue But my love will last forever – it won’t fade with time I just thought I’d ask you to be mine – be mine I’d just like to know if you’ll be mine. On the 14th day of February 1933, She gave her heart forever as he got down on one knee He didn’t have a ring of gold, to give to her that night He gave her his grandma’s locket with these words engraved inside: Here’s my heart, for you to have and to hold It’s not very shiny – it’s not made out of gold But my love will last forever – it won’t fade with time I just thought I’d ask you to be mine – be mine I’d just like to know if you’ll be mine. On the 14th day of February 1995, He told her how he loved her with his final strength of life She handed him a package – as he opened it through tears He found every single Valentine he gave her through the years: Here’s my heart, I want to give it to you It’s a little torn and tattered – made of paper and glue But my love will last forever – it won’t fade with time I just thought I’d ask you to be mine – be mine I’d just like to know if you’ll be mine.
