Valentine
"Valentine" appears on our Family Values album. This lilting singalong is an ode to the theory that love and compassion ARE the answer. It's a big heart-opener. It's easy for kids to sing -- they especially love the "la la la love you" chorus! The dance moves are simple and intuitive. And it's easy to learn on the guitar or ukulele! The message is universal. As the Dalai Lama said, "Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive." [Features my oldest son, Jasper, on trombone solo in the break, when he was 12 years old. LOVE!]
Please note: If you'd like the song in a different key, let me know via email and I'll be happy to send it to you!

VALENTINE: Mindfulness of the Heart with Charity Kahn
Lyrics:
VERSE 1
darling, let’s be valentines
I’ll be yours and you can be mine
right here is the place
where we belong
we can show the world our love
earth below and sky above
and all the birdies in the trees
will sing our song
CHORUS
la la la love you
la la la love you
la la la love you
la la la love you
la la la love you
la la la love you
love you
VERSE 2
darling, let’s be valentines
I’ll be yours and you can be mine
we’ll hold hands
and walk around the world
we will smile at everyone
hug the moon and shine with the sun
and all the stars up in the sky
will sing our song
CHORUS
VERSE 3
darling, we’re all valentines
all the world and all of the time
and all that’s in our hearts
was meant to share
find your kindness know it’s true
you’re in love, and love is in you
and all the valentines are singing
can you hear them now
DOUBLE CHORUS
