I'd like to begin by saying thank you,
the last 9 months have been my best ever,
we've sort of got to know each other quite well,
after all we were sort of in this together.
What a really stupid saying:
"Let's have one more for the road",
take a life when you've been drinking,
and you'll never repay what is owed.
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.
Seriously, I know you hate the rumor mill,
but it's you that I'd like to talk about,
you see, not only have you taught me about nursing,
but this is what I'm saying on the way out.
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 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.
Things moved really quickly between us,
that was despite us saying we should take things slow,
we just couldn't stay away from one another,
but there were still some obstacles, as we 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.
I also wanted to say Happy 1st Anniversary,
I guess that's really what these words are for,
here's to you, my heartfelt (NAME), you're wonderful,
and here's to our everlasting love, for evermore.
We've come a long way since November 1st 2002,
I brought you roses, I think you were impressed,
we met after I e-mailed you from match.com,
if all the potential you were by far the best.
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.
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!
And saying goodbye is so very hard,
but maybe one day, we'll get to Maine,
in truth, it doesn't matter what we do,
if we're together, we'll just do it again and again.
Actually, I could go on and on and on,
because truly, you're the greatest man I've ever met,
and although we've shared so many wonderful times,
as the saying goes: "You ain't seen nothing yet".
I also wanted to say Happy 1st Anniversary,
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.
1st birthday saying
