No matter what we do
You know yours is special to me
But that's because so are you
Since I know it's what you want
I won't make a big fuss
I'll just say: "Have a great day"
And keep the "special" between us
So, have a Happy Birthday It's that time again
There's no need to count them While we're celebrating when
I can't forget about it The way you want me to
It gives me yet another chance To tell you I love you
Birthdays come and go
Sometimes make us look back
To the good times or the bad
Even down a one-way railway track
Or a blue dress that got mixed up
Then fixed up with a guest
Won't say it was perfect, but
It was a cut above the rest
[CHORUS]
Birthdays come and go
Yours, is too soon for me
I'm gonna be two steps behind and
Asking you "please forgive me"
If I don't get done in time
I know you'll understand
It won't be late on purpose, but
You know I can't write "on demand"
So, have a Happy Birthday Here's my gift to you
I thought about a Cadillac But a song will have to do
To me, a song is special 'Cuz it comes straight from my heart
It'll always be there with you Whenever we're apart
[CHORUS]
