Happy Birthday Darlin'

(Chuck Howard)



Hello darling, happy birthday

I've decided not to give you a present this year

In fact I think it's about time I took some things away.



I'd like to take away the suspicion

That I know clouds your world at times

By giving you some faith to hold on to, honey

Whenever your hand is not in mine.



Happy birthday darling, I've no present, no fancy cake

But I hope I'll make you happy with everything I take.



I'd like to take away some of your lonely moments

By spending more time with you

And I'd like to take away some of those so, so kisses

And replace them with ones that really say, I love you.



And I want to take away the doubt

You sometimes have about my love

By showing it more, much more than I've shown you lately

And then if someone should ask you

What I got you for your birthday

Well you can say, why he didn't give me anything

But he sure took a lot of things away.



Happy birthday darling I've no present, no fancy cake

But I hope I'll make you happy with everything I take.



Happy birthday darling I've no present, no fancy cake

But I hope I'll make you happy with everything I take.



Happy birthday, darling...
