Happy, Happy Birthday Baby

Dolly Parton · Dolly Parton [Delta Records] [2000]

(Margo Sylvia, Gilbert Lopez)



Happy, Happy Birthday, Baby

Although you're with somebody new

Thought I'd drop a line to say

That I wish this happy day

would find me beside you

Happy, Happy Birthday, Baby.



No, I can't call you my baby

Seems like years ago we met

On a day I can't forget

'Cause that's when we fell in love

Do you remember the names we had for each other

I was your pretty, you were my baby.



How could we say goodbye

Hope I didn't spoil your birthday

I'm not acting like a lady

So I'll close this note to you

With good luck and wishes too

Happy, Happy Birthday, Baby...
