We always have only happy, never sad, moments,
it's because we can't find thing to disagree about,
and I just wanted to thank you for being you,
you've taught this girl what love is all about.
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.
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.
But we managed to get through that year,
and the next year you moved down the street from me,
you bought me a puppy, (NAME), for my birthday,
and truly, that was the best gift there ever will be.
She also taught me how to shop for and cook spaghetti and meatballs,
she took me to the Feather Club for dinner and dancing on my birthday,
she always knew what you needed and it was often very simple,
and that one line leaves so much left to say:
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.
I always used to think of you as another brother,
I know I was a little sister to you as well,
and we used to share our guy and girl problems,
and I guess we had enough of those to tell.

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 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.
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.
We always have only happy, never sad, moments,
it's because we can't find thing to disagree about,
and I just wanted to thank you for being you,
you've taught this girl what love is all about.
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.
When I was a little girl,
I always dreamed of this day,
I knew the words off by heart,
I knew exactly what I would say.
(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.
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.
(NAME), you?re our precious ?Baby Girl?,
and this is something you know by now, of course,
we?re so proud of our determined warrior,
even though Whinny, you can laugh like a horse.
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.
You have the quick and fiery temper of an angry cat,
and we?ve learned how to avoid the snap of your claws,
but for our precious Baby Girl, we only have love,
and for you, we?d like to give you a round of applause.
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.
Actually, we?re very proud of all your achievements,
you were, and still are, an All American girl,
you?ve carried The Olympic Torch, you?ve shone at sports,
and more than once, you?ve given that baton quite a twirl.
Your Mum is a remarkable girl,
Perhaps the strongest woman I know,
I know you will love her dearly,
Just let your feelings show.
And I just wanted to say Happy 27th 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.
Your Mum is a remarkable girl,
Perhaps the strongest woman I know,
I know you will love her dearly,
Just let your feelings show.
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.
Because mother ruled the halls and the house,
but father decided teaching was not the right card,
so he started his own painting company,
and that's where he worked so very hard.
