Oh, Happy Birthday My Love
the moment we met it was love
a promise like a flower bloomed
your deep laughter and voice was music to my soul
oh, happy birthday my love
love came to us like a guest unbidden
and you became my heart and soul
with trembling lips we kissed
and that first kiss was so heavenly
I was lost in magic as clouds sailed across the sky
oh, happy birthday my love
we both drank from the deep blue sky
as you wrapped me in your arms
when you asked me to marry you
without hesitation I said, yes
we had so many future plans for us and our baby
and happiness always filled our days
oh, happy birthday my love
today, I will bring two perfect red roses
one for you my love on your birthday
and one for our baby boy
"and with tears I place the roses on your graves."
