Happy Birthday Darlin'


Hello darling
Happy birthday
I've decided not to give you a present this year
In fact
I think it's about time I took some things away

I'd like to take away this suspicion
That I know clouds your world at times
By giving you some faith to hold on to
Whenever your hand is not in mine

Happy birthday, darling
I've no presents, no fancy cake
But I hope I'll make you happy
With everything I take

I'd like to take away some of your lonely moments
By spending more of mine with you
And I'd like to take away some of those so-so kisses
And replace them with ones
That really say
I love you

And I want to take away the doubt you sometimes have about my love for you
By showing it more
Much more that I've ever shown it before
And then if someone should ask you what I gave you for your birthday
Well, you can say
Why, she didn't give me anything
But she sure took a lot of things away

Happy birthday, darling
I've no presents, no fancy cake
But I hope I'll make you happy
With everything I take

Happy birthday, darling
I've no presents, no fancy cake
But I hope I'll make you happy
With everything I take

Happy birthday, darling
