40th birthday wish

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.

I know that he?d be very proud of you,
and for you, he?d wish only the very best for your life,
because as you know, his life was all about family,
and you?re lucky, you?ve chosen the perfect wife.

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.

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.

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.

But I did want to wish you a lifetime of happiness,
remember, never take an argument past your bed,
and I think that's the only advice I'm going to give you,
after all, I think there's been quite enough that I've said.

I also wanted to wish you both "Bon Voyage"
I guess that's really what these words are for,
here's to you, (NAME) and (NAME), you're truly wonderful,
and here's to your everlasting love, for evermore.

But we have shared so many wonderful memories,
in truth, there's just too many to individually list,
just know that each and everyone is simply precious,
I just wish I could remember them (sorry, too pissed).

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.

Because what you share is truly spiritual,
you're a match made and born in the heavens above,
and I just wanted to wish you lifelong happiness,
but most of all, I wish for your eternal love.

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.

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.

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:

And all that he will ever wish,
and this my dearest wish too,
is that I have such a wonderful marriage,
and that I'm loved as much as he loved you.

I wish you happiness all your life,
I wish you straight roads with not too many bends,
I wish you love, meaning and dignity,
I wish you lots and lots of special friends.

I just wish she could forgive me and move on,
I just wish she could find the forgiveness in her heart,
and I wanted to tell her that I?m sorry, she?ll always be first,
but to be honest, I just didn?t know where to start.

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.

I also wish you the odd valley,
because there your true seeds of greatness will grow,
just know that we'll always be there for you,
and that's all you'll ever really need to 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!

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.

(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 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.

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.

Like the time we spent all day fishing,
we?d been quite successful and had a stringer of fish,
but then I went and lost the lot, you were quite upset,
and I was sad for a while, with many a forlorn wish.

And (NAME) and (NAME) are here with us today,
because their spirit lives on, inside of us all,
and I know you wish I could have met (NAME),
but it's OK, she had to answer God's call.

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.

In fact, you used to give in to my every wish
and to her favourite person, you just couldn't say "No",
but I also know that if I needed someone to talk to,
well, I knew exactly where I should go.

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.
