I hope you know by now that you're my one and only,
in truth, I simply love you with all my heart and soul,
for with you in my life, I feel so complete,
yes, you do make me feel so completely whole.
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.
You own a spa, massages, facials, make up,
personal training, you know, that sort of thing,
but there's something missing in your life,
even though you're wearing that wedding ring.
Every week, she watches my daughter while I work,
and it was not easy, caring for a child on my own,
but (NAME) has always loved me so unconditionally,
I'm very grateful for all the love that she's shown.
When we were little we used to fight over the telephone,
and then we would end up beating up one another,
we used to make fun of (NAME), (NAME) and (NAME),
in those days, their tight pants would make us run for cover.
We will love and support you always,
we'll pick you up if you happen to scrape your knee,
but in the meantime, we just wanted to say Happy Graduation,
and thanks (NAME), you make the world a great place to be.
I never imagined I'd ever meet someone so special,
honestly, not even in my wildest and hopeful dreams,
but ever since we met, I have felt truly blessed,
and we do make one of the world's finest teams.
We were together for seven years, married for two,
and we were trying to start our own family,
and I know you really wanted to be a Dad,
it's so unfair, I guess it was just not meant to be.
And I will also always be there for you,
if you ever need a shoulder or a helping hand,
divided we shall fall and be conquered,
but together and united we will make a stand.
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.
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!
Look, I now realize that some things are not meant to be,
and life is never easy, it's not a rose filled dream,
but we can stick together, we can make the distance,
we can prove to the world that we truly are a team.
I loved that dress so much I wanted to wear it everyday,
even if it had a stain on it just below the chin,
I had a very strong nature with my own ideas,
my mother was exasperated, because she knew I'd win.
Look, I'm the maid of honor here,
and I certainly don't want to preach,
but I'm going to share a few thoughts,
and I'll try not to make this a boring old speech.
I am a better person since I met you,
you make me want to be the best that I can,
and I want to give you the happiness that you deserve,
you see, I only want the very best for my man.
I'm trying to find the right words to express exactly how I feel
but it's hard to describe what's in your heart and soul,
just know that, with you, I feel so loved, so complete,
yes, you are the only one that could ever make me completely whole.
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.
Give of themselves, give to others,
and make your life truly worthwhile,
because I guarantee you?ll win either way,
because after all, what if this is just a trial?
Because The Drink is a dreadful thing,
it will make you obese and make you fat,
and the more that you drink, the more you will drink,
it's addictive, it's as simple as that.
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've gone from not caring to highly driven,
you're my oil, you're my motor, my v eight,
but much more that, you're my best friend,
my lover, my confidant, my very own soul-mate.
And what if, after that final breath,
then there is some sort of judgement day?
How on earth will you make your case?
what worthwhile thing could you possibly say?
