LYRICS:
February 14th is no longer Valentine's Day
It's the day you and me became we
The first time we met - it was a Friday night
Good thing I took that redeye flight the previous night
Not well-rested but you got me awake
Something unexpected, I did a double-take
Introductions, exchange hellos, exchange looks
Beyond the words, we both understood
It was like trying to catch up on 30+ years apart
Like I already know you, so where do we start
Wanna hear it all - who you were, who you are
Every question leading to exclamation marks
Let’s grab that table outside
The seats are side by side, doesn’t matter
Nowhere I’d rather be, I’m already enamored
But you’re a lady so I’m maintaining my best manners
Started with dinner, then dinner to drinks
A bottle of plum wine, taking slow sips
No rush, you got stories to tell, I got the whole night
Matter of fact I’m thinking we got our whole life
So today let’s make sure you get home
We link arms and walk down the cobblestone
I say goodnight, already planning our next date
What a difference a day makes

February 14th is no longer Valentine's Day
It's the day we met, feels like yesterday
February 14th is the day when everything changed
Forever begins today

I got my tailored suit, dark blue
Double-breasted, old school but feeling brand new
Made to measure, a perfect fit to celebrate the perfect match
Playback
One year to the day
I rewind in my mind like I got it on tape
Every meal that you cooked, every song that we made
Every night that you took control of the stage
And in a way, today’s the main event
You step into the spotlight, beautiful, dressed in white
Forget about Valentine's Day
February 14th means something else today
It’s the day you and me officially become we
Exchange vows, exchange rings
You’re my Mrs I’m your Mr
Signed, sealed, delivered, the beginning of a new era
So mark this date in February
Last year was a match, this year it’s matrimony
A second memory for the second month
And there’s so much more to come

February 14th is no longer Valentine's Day
It's the day we met, feels like yesterday
February 14th is the day when everything changed
Forever begins today
