Love of Mine

When candy has no sweetness
and roses have no blooms.
When stars no longer twinkle
and there are no full moons.

When Cupid has no arrows
and the birds cease to sing.
When the sun does not rise in morn
and the bees no longer sting.

If the earth should not turn my dear
and there's no such thing as time.
Then and only then sweetheart
will you no longer be my Valentine.
