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.
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!
She loved the Lord and shared that gift with us all,
she had a big heart and taught us all how to give,
she was always thinking of and doing for others,
in truth, I think she taught us all how to live.
Do you know how I truly idolize you?
I think of you and my chest swells with pride,
because I know I couldn?t have picked a finer father,
I know I couldn?t ? even if I?d tried.
He also always knew just the right thing to say,
and despite his brevity, I knew he'd always understand,
I couldn't have wished for a fairer or a better father,
and I think he followed the path that God had planned.
You are the greatest gift on earth,
in fact, a gift from God above,
and now I know the meaning of marriage,
and now I know the meaning of true love.
I know you like a drink and a good chat,
but you?ve always given us an ear that?ll understand,
and I know you?ve been a very protective and proud father,
but to be honest, you?re the best Dad in all this land.
She loved the Lord and shared that gift with us all,
she had a big heart and taught us all how to give,
she was always thinking of and doing for others,
in truth, I think she taught us all how to live.
I'd also like to thank you for our beautiful children,
truly, they are our dreams personified,
and I know they couldn't have chosen a finer father,
I know they couldn't, even if they'd tried.
You gave me the courage to follow in your steps,
and at the end of day, that?s the greatest gift of all,
as Dad, because of you I walk taller,
in fact, I feel like I?m ten feel tall!
Because you have persistently and consistently loved us,
and it seems like 'you' is always the last thing on your mind,
you have this wonderful gift of being able to inspire,
and we know that's a treasure and so very hard to find.
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.
I guess it was because I loved my Daddy so much,
and it's hard to describe his true and honest worth,
because he was such a fine father, nay, a great father,
and I'm so sorry that he had to leave this planet Earth.
Hello, my wonderful father,
these words are just for you,
because we're proud of who you are,
and we're very proud of what you do.
And I know your father wasn?t quite like that,
in truth, he never killed the dragon that lived inside,
but from selling newspapers, to the Vietnam war,
I know that you have been a great source of pride.
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'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.
