Saint Valentine's Day, also known as Valentine's Day or the Feast of
Saint Valentine is a holiday observed on February 14 each year. It is celebrated in many countries around the world,
although it is not a holiday in most of them.
The day was first associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey
Chaucer in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished. In 18th-century England, it evolved into an
occasion in which lovers expressed their love for each other by presenting
flowers, offering confectionery, and sending greeting cards (known as
"valentines").
Songs have been important in Valentine's Days because they
help people to express their feelings and thoughts. Thus, we
will start our Valentine's Day with a present song “All of me” of John
Legend.
