Ben King's Verse/That Valentine

Once, I remember, years ago, I sent a tender valentine; I know it caused a deal of woe. Once, I remember, years ago, Her father's boots were large, you know. I do regret the hasty line, Once, I remember, years ago I sent a tender valentine.

I know I never can forget I sent the tender valentine; Somehow or other I regret, But how I never can forget, But then, I know, I know I met Her father. Oh, what grief was mine. I know I never shall forget I sent a tender valentine.
