Happy Birthday... Dad
Happy birthday,
Dad
from the kids
you left behind
Happy birthday,
Dad
through the promises
and lies
Happy birthday,
Dad
do they celebrate
up there?
Happy birthday,
Dad
if only your lungs
they still had air
Happy birthday,
Dad*
on the first day
of the year
Happy birthday. . .
. . . Dad
I always thought you'd
make it here.
I cried on Christmas over you. Now I cried on New Years, too. In fact, I think this year started with tear stains on my cheek. But happy birthday. . . You should be here. I miss you . . .
