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.
She had a few falls but that didn't slow her down,
and today, she's put many a reason in our rhymes,
she raised two daughters whilst having a career,
and that was very inspirational for those times.
Because (NAME), I think you were wrong,
I see your Dad in your every movement, your every smile,
and I know he?ll be there with you today,
I can see his proud look, watching from the aisle.
And (NAME) and (NAME) are here with us today,
because their spirit lives on, inside of us all,
and I know you wish I could have met (NAME),
but it's OK, she had to answer God's call.
Our love just grows and grows with every day that passes,
so tomorrow, I know that I'll love you even more than today,
my heart and soul belong to you until the day I die,
but I know in the hereafter, I will also find a way.
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.
So I just wanted to say thank you,
that's what these words are for,
just know that I love you today,
and that I'll love you for evermore.
And I know we complained a bit at the time,
but working in the school holidays made us realize,
and those days have formed the basis of my work ethic today,
although I guess by now, this comes as no surprise.
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.
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 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'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.
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.
Hello, my wonderful father,
my heart is full and I have a lot to say,
and I don?t think I?ll get a better opportunity,
after all, today, well, it is Father's Day.
You're such a loving, strong and caring person,
I love you today and I know that I always will,
and I just wanted to thank you for being you,
I wanted to thank you for looking after me when I'm ill.
Today, I felt my father's spirit,
I could feel him proudly looking on,
I could feel his love for us all,
I could feel where his love brightly shone.
(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.
He's always said that he didn't want a million acquaintances,
so if you're here today, you're our very good friends,
and I know that you're all very important to (NAME),
now just a few more things (before these lines have their ends).
We'll never forget (NAME) and (NAME) boxing in the backyard,
that was the same backyard where I helped to rake the leaves,
we went shopping and then onto lunch for my birthday,
these are the moments for which my heart grieves.
And what is unfolding before us today,
really should come as no surprise,
because all this was planned so long ago,
sadly, today's telescopes also have blind eyes.
From the day I met you, I knew,
I knew here was happiness for the rest of my life,
I knew that I'd love you forever and ever,
I knew that one day, today, I'd be your wife.
She had a few falls but that didn't slow her down,
and today, she's put many a reason in our rhymes,
she raised two daughters whilst having a career,
and that was very inspirational for those times.
And that's exactly how I feel today,
I'm all bubbly and I'm so ecstatic inside,
because I know I couldn't have picked a finer husband,
I think of you and my chest swells and fills with pride.
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.
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.
I know that we've both owned our fair share of tragedy,
and I also know it's never easy the second time around,
but today I am still amazed at the timing and the fate,
and I can't believe the pure and true happiness that we've found.
And on a much sadder and solemner note,
those here today are not the only ones to have soared,
because (NAME NAME NAME) is alive in us all,
and we know he's safe in the house of The Lord.
