Lyrics
Happy birthday baby
Though I haven't seen you in twenty years
I'll say it anyway
And I hope it sounds good to your ears.
Chorus:
The angels played, you came to earth
On this the anniversy of your birth.
Happy birthday baby
Though I only see you in my dreams
It makes me happy... so happy
Thinking how nice things could have been.
Repeat Chorus
Happy birthday baby
If our paths could meet
I thought that somehow maybe
We'd be in for a real big treat.
Repeat Chorus
Happy birthday baby
This song has been heard by just a few
And if it gets heard by many
I hope that one of them is you.
Repeat Chorus
Happy birthday baby
Though I haven't seen you in twenty years
I'll say it anyway
And I hope it sounds good to your ears.
Repeat Chorus
