And maybe we've never really told you,
maybe we've never said just how wonderful you are,
but if our collective love for you were a distance,
then it would be further than the furthest star.
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 "I love you",
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.
I have never been able to express this to you before,
I've never been able to say just how truly wonderful you are,
but if my love for you were a distance,
then it would be further than the furthest star.
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.
I don't tell you often enough,
just how perfect for me you really are,
but you are my morning sunshine,
in fact, you are my shining star.
The Drink definitely improves your athleticism,
you think you're twice as good as you are,
there are times you can beat a speeding bullet,
but watch out for that falling star.
Because I want you to know that I care about you,
I've never really said just how wonderful you are,
but if my like for you were a distance,
then it would be further than the furthest star (or spa).
And although we say "I love you" often enough,
we've never really expressed just how wonderful you are,
but if our love for you were a distance,
then it would be further than the furthest star.
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.
And I don?t think it?ll be that scary,
although of course, life just won?t be the same,
but I think it would be an interesting journey,
to go back to the star from whence you came.
But thankfully, our curtains didn't close,
and 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!
You see, you never hold a grudge,
and I?ve never really said just how wonderful you are,
but if my love for you were a distance,
well, then it?d be further than the furthest star.
To put it simply, you have been my rock
a rock that sings Broadway shows with me in the car,
and did you know, if my love for you were a distance,
then it would be further than the furthest star?
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.
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.
