BIRTHDAY WISHES

Upon this day I’ll always think of you

With fondness, and to pray you’re not alone,

And may your birthday wishes all come true.

​

As certain as the idyll I pursue,

Whichever way the winds of change have blown,

Upon this day I’ll always think of you.

​

Let Providence ensure your cares are few

And grant no cause to curse how time has flown,

And may your birthday wishes all come true.

​

No matter where I am or what I do

And even if my heart should turn to stone,

Upon this day I’ll always think of you.

​

Rekindle plans you failed to carry through

Let all your doubts and fears be overthrown,

And may your birthday wishes all come true.

​

Regardless of our polar points of view

Despite the loves we have and loves we've known.

Upon this day I’ll always think of you

And may your birthday wishes all come true.
