Lady Valentine is a pop ballad by David Gates, released in August 1981 as part of his solo album Take Me Now. It is the ninth track on that album. The lyrics describe the singer's partner as his heart, inspiration, and muse—like a haunting melody he can sing forever—who keeps him in tune and near his February loves. He calls her Lady Valentine, the music to his song, and suggests that life without her is incomplete. The song showcases Gates' smooth early 80s pop style and was written and produced by Gates himself.
