Text:

This is the legend of how Saint Valentine’s Day began. . Under the rule of Emperor Claudius II Rome was involved in many bloody and unpopular campaigns. Claudius the Cruel was having a difficult time getting soldiers to join his military leagues. He believed that the reason was that roman men did not want to leave their loves or families. As a result, Claudius cancelled all marriages and engagements in Rome. But at that time there was a kindly priest named Valentine. He couldn’t agree with the Emperor’s decision when he saw that young couples were truly in love, he married them secretly. So for this kind deed Saint Valentine was imprisoned and at that time he fell in love into the jailer's daughter. Legend also says that before his death on 14 February St. Valentine left a farewell note for the jailer's daughter, and signed it "From Your Valentine". Gradually, February 14 became the date for exchanging love messages and St. Valentine became the patron saint of lovers. The date was marked by sending poems and simple gifts such as flowers, sweets, chocolates.

Today Was a Fairytale

Today was a fairytale

You were the prince

I used to be a damsel in distress

You took me by the hand

And you picked me up at six

Today was a fairytale

Today was a fairytale

Today was a fairytale

I wore a dress

You wore a dark grey t - shirt

You told me I was pretty when I looked like a mess

Today was a fairytale

Time slows down whenever you're around

But can you feel this magic in the air?

It must have been the way you kissed me

Fell in love when I saw you standing there

It must have been the way

Today was a fairytale

It must have been the way

Today was a fairytale

Today was a fairytale

You've got a smile that takes me to another planet

Every move you make everything you say is right

Today was a fairytale.
