or other significant loved one in your life, you don’t know
what you’re missing-or rather, what they’re missing..
There will be two days of songs for the ladies this
year. Our chorus always does Singing
Valentines on at least one weekday, so that we can visit schools and
businesses. Then, on Saturday we'll
sing in the homes on a more personal level.
So, you have two chances to impress her this year.
I doubt that there is anything else you can do on Valentines
Day that will equal the experience she will have when four tuxedo-clad men show
up at her home or at her workplace, present a long-stem red rose and a card
with your personal greeting on it and then sing two love songs to her.
Our quartet sang about 30 times last year, and the response
was phenomenal. The ones we sang in the
home were the most personal, and the tears flowed every time. But the ones we sang at the workplace,
especially at schools, were the most fun, because our audience was larger, and
the school children were so impressed.
We sang to women and men—that’s right, we’re gender
neutral—and our audience included teenage girls, widows, mothers and
daughters. We started at 7 AM and
didn’t quit until 9 PM.
We were one of five quartets that circulated throughout the
metropolitan area singing, and we presented 166 Singing Valentines. It wasn’t inexpensive for the senders, but I
bet every one of them felt it was worth every penny. For the lovebirds I’m certain it pays dividends later that
evening.
If you would like to send a Singing Valentine to
your sweetheart this year, most cities have the service available. You can usually place an order online or by
phone. Just use the link above and
enter your postal zip code to locate the service in your area. If you order early and you allow a four-hour
window, you can probably get a discount.
The extras, like having the presentation at your Valentine dinner at
your favorite restaurant are a little extra money, but are always worth it.
So here it is ladies and gentlemen. If you are trying to come up with a good
gift for this Valentines Day, I guarantee that you cannot do any better than a
Singing Valentine. If you don’t score
big with your honey, it won’t be our fault.
Here are the lyrics to the two songs usually sung by the
quartet:
Let Me Call You Sweetheart
Let Me Call You Sweetheart, I’m in love with you.
Let me hear you whisper that you love me too.
Keep the love light glowing in your eyes so true.
Let me call you sweetheart, I’m in love with you.
Heart Of My Heart (The Story of the Rose)
Heart of my heart, I love you.
Life would be naught without you.
Light of my life, my darling,
I love you... I love you.
I can forget you never.
From you I ne’er can sever.
Say you’ll be mine forever.
I love you.
Now I ask you, “How can she resist when you phrase it that way?”
