A little love note for Valentine's Day ???? "A Heart of Blue and White" For Dear Old State, my heart beats true,? A place where dreams come into view,? Where Nittany Lions roam so proud,? In blue and white, amongst the crowd. In Happy Valley, love takes flight,? Where passion burns day and night.? From Beaver Stadium’s roaring cheer,? To the gentle snowflakes falling near. Your spirits strong, your hearts so pure,? A love for Penn State, deep and sure.? In every stride, in every fight,? We stand together, hearts alight. The Nittany Lion, fierce and bold,? A symbol of a Penn State pride untold,? With every paw print in the snow,? We share a bond that only grows. "We Are!" One voice, one dream, one heart, In Penn State’s love, we’ll never part. So on this day, our hearts will say,? With Penn State pride, we feel this way:? Dear Old State forever, through and through,? A love as timeless as the blue ?? #WeAre
