about

Based on a short story by Sophie Hampshire

lyrics

Mr Valentine brings joy to the face of woe.
Everywhere you go, he goes.
Creating a smile with inimitable style,
he brightens the day that had dragged from the soft snowy dawn to the warm honey glow of the lights of your home ... The lights of your home.


Old Mr V brings fun to the face of the world,
the boys and the girls.
Lighting the light where darkness and night had smothered the joy of the past,
where memories last and linger as ghosts round your bed, invading your head ...
Invading your head.

Observing this life from afar, you still bear a scar,
which pushes you out on a limb.
But you want to come in.
Takes more than the best meal of your day to turn things your way
and lighten the load ... Lighten the load. Lighten the load.

But old Mr V has the answer to all these questions that fly round your head,
like the merry-go-round in the toy shop window.
His twinkling eyes so piercing and blue that can cut right through,
turn a frown right around, and the simplest of pleasures,
the sharing of fun, as you play with the toys that you made together
has lifted the gloom, that you felt in your room ...
And turned the world to a magical place.
