Happy birthday, Sweetheart. Happy birthday
We can't hold back the swiftness of Time
Shedding my soul's defense – all hypocrisy
I'll surrender to sorrow. And I'll drink my wine
I will remember the years that have passed
Gently blowing the dust from what's gone
It's not the first time in my memory cast
That your age now begins with a five from now on
Thoughts flow smoothly, outside of chronology
A tapestry of moments without dates
We are big. We are simply Great, you see
To have managed to break so much at the gates
There are tapes. It's all captured on video
Our son at school... the younger one chases the cat
You are laughing... You're dancing... a beautiful show!
But the magnetic layer will soon fall flat
Life with you, like a thread of red mulberry silk
Wove itself deep in my subconscious mind
The Star will never grasp the nature of the split
Between the concepts, 'to have' and 'to love', you'll find
The night is ending. Enough of this poetry
I am lying to myself. I should howl at the moon
Into the golden toilet of life's daily routine
We spilled ourselves out and flushed it all away too soon
Happy birthday, Sweetheart. Happy birthday
Happy birthday, Sweetheart. Happy birthday
Happy birthday, Sweetheart. Happy birthday
Happy birthday, Sweetheart. Happy birthday
