But if the decision doesn't go my way,
then I'm going to need my own healing time,
and for a while, I won't be the friend you need,
it may take an age to get my words to rhyme.
"Whatever you're thinking, may it be bigger and better",
and right now, I'm thinking of grandma's heart,
hers was the biggest and the best in all of the Universe,
I guess that's what I've wanted to say from the very start.
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.
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.
By May 2003 things were really intolerable,
I was finding work and life just too darn hard,
my ever changing moods were simply unbearable,
and those closest to me became quite battle scarred.
"Whatever you're thinking, may it be bigger and better",
and right now, I'm thinking of grandma's heart,
hers was the biggest and the best in all of the Universe,
I guess that's what I've wanted to say from the very start.
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 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.
(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.
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.
And I may have said this before,
but I've never really said just how wonderful you are,
but if my love for you were a distance,
then it would be further than the furthest star.
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!
Out of our 4 years together, it's been 18 months,
only 18 months, when we've laid down side by side,
but I know I couldn't have picked a finer partner,
I know I couldn't - even if I'd tried.
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), I love you more than anything,
you are my love, my very best friend,
and I just wanted to say "I love you",
(I may do so before these lines have their end).
You may not know this, but if it weren't for you I would have given up,
and that's something I would've lived with for the rest of my days,
it has been an important lesson for me to learn,
I know that where there's a will there are ways.
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.
And now you may go on to study law,
just know, whatever, we're very proud of you,
just remember the values that you hold dear,
and truly believe in whatever you decide to do.
(NAME), I love you more than anything,
you are my love, my very best friend,
and I just wanted to say "I love you",
(I may do so before these lines have their end).
18 birthday famous may
