i'll go out today
walk the hills and seek the sun
today is a special day for me
though it's a secret i hold

i'll buy a favorite cake
and make coffee too
sacher torte and melange
then i'll hum a song

i'll just hum ...
for my voice is bad
and it may only break
if  i sing my song

Happy Birthday
my friend, my very dear friend
my voice is breaking
because i miss you so
