Happy Birthday Darlin’
Hello Darlin’, happy birthday
I’ve decided not to give you a present this year
In fact, I think it’s about time
I took some things away
I’d like to take away the suspicion
That I know clouds your world at times
By giving you some faith to hold on to
Honey whenever your hand’s not in mine
Happy birthday, darlin’
I’ve got no presents, no fancy cake
But I hope you’ll be happy
With everything I take
I’d like to take away some of your lonely moments
By spending some of mine with you
And I’d like to take away some of those so-so kisses
And replace them with ones that really say I love you
I wanna take away the doubt
You have sometimes about my love
By showing it more, much more
Than I’ve shown it lately
Then if someone should ask you
What I got your for your birthday
Well you can say he didn’t give me anything
But he sure took a lot of things away
