Little did I know you had feelings for me too,
but night after night, I prayed and prayed
sincere, romantic,funny,respectful and handsome,
when I look at you I see the hand that God has played.
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 remember the time she woke me up by yelling,
she knew that a lay in bed was something that I would like,
she was screaming at me to get my stuff off the porch,
but when I got there, there was my brand new birthday bike.
(NAME) was my 18th birthday present from his room-mate,
on the card, it said "too big to wrap, but I know you'll love him",
and the following day I told my parents I would marry (NAME),
and now I can say, 39 glorious years later, that was no teenage whim.
And that moment is upon us,
after all, 60 years ago, Dad had his birth-day,
and we've got some thoughts on our mind,
yes, we do have some funny, heartfelt words to say:
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.
I love the way that you accept my emotional baggage,
but I must admit, you've lightened my load,
and I think it's funny you're such a terrible driver,
I'm getting used to shouting "Get out of the road!".
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.
You wrote and read a poem at your father?s service,
and you spoke about him missing your wedding day,
and although that one line expresses so much,
it still means there's so much left to say:
And I just wanted to say Happy 60th 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.
That was until I realized it wasn?t important,
what was is that we?d spent the time together,
so then I started thinking how funny it was,
and now we?ve got a memory, that?ll last forever and ever.
Little did I know you had feelings for me too,
but night after night, I prayed and prayed
sincere, romantic,funny,respectful and handsome,
when I look at you I see the hand that God has played.
It's just our way of saying "Happy 60th Birthday",
I guess that's really what these words are for,
here's to you, Mom, you're truly wonderful,
and here's to cruising through life, 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.
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.
And I know that I took my time in coming,
but all good things come to those who wait,
and that funny feeling you had on Sunday was me,
you see, we were already developing a family trait.
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.
Because your Dad was always strong and so very loving,
and yes, I too know his true and honest worth,
but every eagle has to be free, to soar on high,
eagles are just not designed to walk on this Earth.
You're emotionally mature, spiritually enlightened,
you're funny, caring, loving and oh so kind,
you're passionate, compassionate and unconditional,
and I know that a love like ours is so hard to find.
You see, Dad is such a funny guy,
all in all, he's a pretty good bloke,
and I hope he knows that we love him,
and that he doesn't mind the odd little poke.
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.
