TODAY HAS BEEN
MY BIRTHDAY
AND TONIGHT
I SHOULD BE GLAD
BUT YOU WEREN'T HERE
TO SHARE IT
AND INSIDE
I HURT SO BAD
I DIDN'T WANT
YOUR PRESENTS
JUST YOUR KISS
AND COMPANY
AND YOUR LIPS
TO SOFTLY WHISPER
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME
BUT I CAME HOME
ALL BY MYSELF
AND LIT THE CANDLES
MADE A WISH FOR YOU
AND LOVE THAT USED
TO BE
I UNWRAPPED
THE TINY PACKAGE
THAT I BOUGHT MYSELF
THEN I SANG
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
TO ME
4 BAR
BREAK
I THOUGHT FOR SURE
YOU'D SEND ME
AT LEAST
A BIRTHDAY CARD
BUT THE POSTMAN
DIDN'T EVEN STOP
WHEN HE PASSED BY
MY YARD
YOU COULD HAVE
TELEPHONED
AND EASED
A LOT OF MISERY
INSTEAD
I CALLED MYSELF
AND SAID
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
TO ME
THEN I CAME HOME
ALL BY MYSELF
AND LIT THE CANDLES
MADE A WISH FOR YOU
AND LOVE
THAT USED TO BE
I UNWRAPPED
THE TINY PACKAGE
THAT I BOUGHT MYSELF
THEN I SANG
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
TO ME
