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 thanks to you, my wonderful husband, our kind father.
Happy Fortieth Birthday, (that's what these words are for).
Here's to you, our shining star, our guiding light
and here's to at least another forty 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.
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.
Hello, (NAME),
it?s OK, I?ll avoid the obvious rhyme,
we?re all here to celebrate your birthday,
and with apologies to MC Hammer, it's now "Tucker Time".
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.
(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.
So, we just wanted to say thank you,
that's really what these words are for,
Happy Birthday Mom, thanks for the moments,
and here's to sharing many, many more.
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.
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.
Because from my deepest blues, we're now diving to deeper blues,
but now we're talking about under the oceans, blue green,
and it's beneath the dappled surface that we share our passion,
and we've witnessed some of the finest miracles ever seen.
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:
Of course, you made sure that (NAME) had a "happy birthday",
but then my whole future shone up in those romantic lights,
and after that, we, I mean you, began the wedding planning,
and that eventuated in one of the world's greatest nights.
I know what she really wants for her birthday,
and I really think father should have another look,
because surely it's time for the kitchen of her dreams,
even though, according to him, she doesn't cook !
Because they've sprinkled sunlight in your hair,
and they've given you the bluest of blue eyes,
and you've got your father's good looks,
but of course, that should come as no surprise.
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.
And I did just want to say (NAME) Happy 40th Birthday,
I'm so looking forward to the future and our time together,
but in the meantime, just know that you have our love,
and I know that love will last eternally, forever and ever.
There were trips (PLACE) and (PLACE),
at Sand Hill Cove we'd climb the rocks and watch the boats,
we went to (PLACE), all in blue beanie caps to stay together,
(we couldn't afford to all have the same colored coats).
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.
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.
Today, I was supposed to celebrate my birthday,
but foolishly, I called Squirt just a little too late,
and then my life started spinning out of control,
I was on a rollercoaster, in the twists and turns of fate.
I also appreciate how you're learning to deal with my moods,
as you know, I can swing from very high to pretty low,
you have the ability to bring me out from the deepest blue,
and those are depths that no one should ever know.
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!
So thanks for teaching me how to dream,
thanks for teaching me to get up after a fall,
Dad, just know that I love you very much,
you?re the King of Hearts, to Blue, the greatest one of all.
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 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.
