She loved music and dancing and she taught us the box step,
I'll never forget the summer fun and dancing at Torch Lake,
we also loved to listen to her play the piano,
nearly as much as the apple pies she used to bake.
And I also wanted to Happy 80th Birthday,
I guess that's really what these words are for,
here's to you, (NAME), grandmother, you're truly wonderful,
and here's to at least another eighty more!
I just wanted to say thank you,
I'd like to thank you for everything you've ever done,
I'm sincerely grateful for your love and support,
and I'd also like to thank you for giving us our son.
Last year I searched so many stores,
in truth, I searched long and hard, high and low,
but I ended up giving you chocolates and a card,
and now there are some things you need to know.
However, it wasn't shining so brightly on your birthday,
if I recall (you won't remember), you were twenty one,
so wasted, you had to be carried up the stairs by a friend,
that night, certainly, your drinking days were done.
So, in the meantime, know that you're really loved,
your son and wife know your true and honest worth,
and of all the husbands and fathers in this world,
we both have the pick of the crop on planet Earth.
So, you will continue to be my lifelong companion,
and I know at times, that's going to be pretty hard,
but maybe I'll take you skydiving or parasailing,
maybe I'll even pay for a meal with your library card.
I'd also like to say Happy 75th Birthday,
I guess that's really what these words are for,
here's to you, <NAME>, you're truly wonderful,
and here's to our everlasting love, for evermore.
You've been with me every step of the way,
through a career move and the dramatic "D",
and I just wanted to thank you for being you,
you've made my world a great place to be.
I took care of your dad until he had to go
and your mother when she was very ill,
I guess I step in so you don't have to,
I always try to protect you (and I know that I always will).
So I think we'll finish by saying Happy 60th Birthday,
I guess that's really what these words are for,
here's to you, Dad, you're truly wonderful,
and here's to staying a big kid, for evermore.
I also wanted to say "Happy Birthday",
but there's a few other words that need to be said,
because I know I'm a hot tempered guy,
and some times my tongue gets easily led.
And if you decide to come to me,
I want it to be of your own volition, your own free will,
because I know I'll always be here for you,
and as it's always, I guess I always will.
She loved music and dancing and she taught us the box step,
I'll never forget the summer fun and dancing at Torch Lake,
we also loved to listen to her play the piano,
nearly as much as the apple pies she used to bake.
So Happy 75th Birthday,
That's really what these words are for,
here's to you, (NAME), you're truly wonderful,
and here's to our love, for evermore.
