Today's Your Birthday

Today it is your birthday
I didn't send a card
I don't know if you think of me
And the past we did discard
Today's your birthday
Today's your birthday
Today's your birthday

I hope you get the gift you want
Flowers waiting at your door
I hope you have all you desire
The past we can ignore

I hope the candles blow right out
On your favorite cake
I hope the whole day's perfect with
No lingering past mistake

Today it is your birthday
I hope it finds you well
There's no point in dredging up
All we did dispel
Today's your birthday
Today's your birthday
Today's your birthday

I hope this year is better than
Some ones you may forget
Mistakes we made will fade with time
No more remaining debt

I hope for you the best of things
In some place that I'm not
Where all the scars have finally healed
From battles we once fought

Today it is your birthday
There's little left to say
No point in looking backwards
You'll only find decay
Today's your birthday
Today's your birthday
Today's your birthday
Today's your birthday
Today's your birthday

So happy birthday to you
Now someone else will sing
I hope he makes you happy
With nothing lingering

Yet on this day I won't forget
A world that we once shared
Before it all broke apart
And couldn't be repaired.

Today it is your birthday
No, I will not call
The only words I've left now
Are trite and banal
Today's your birthday
Today's your birthday
Today's your birthday

Happy birthday to ya
Happy birthday to ya
Happy birthday to ya
Happy birthday to ya
