A week from one we recognize your distance As measured by the candles on your cake These nineteen little fires they tell a story Of the life for which today we celebrate A week from one you entered to a hurricane For eighteen years it stayed to watch you grow It shrouded all December's sunken treasures A fortune only birthday wishes show You wished upon a star to be a mermaid And for he to top the tallest mountain peak Two distant souls with no apparent yearning A miracle could only have them meet But in this wish the mermaid grew her wings And flew beyond the sea that was her world And on the way she rescued our fair mountaineer And up into the heavens they unfurled Now free they are to soar amongst the clouds A wish upon a star for ever more Together they remembered how to fly again And understood that it's worth falling for And even as the wish concludes unnoticed With rising smoke an image of it's ghost It has lingered with us Through everything we've shared SongtexteAwaiting it's replacement at your birthday toast And we'll sing Happy Birthday to you Happy Birthday to you Happy Birthday to you A week from one we recognize your distance As measured by the candles on your cake Those many little fires they tell a story Of a life for which that day we'll celebrate And should someday the party start without me For better or for worse the reasons why A week from one I know where all my thoughts will be On my December sunken treasure always in my mind And we'll dream Happy Birthday to you Happy Birthday to you Happy Birthday to you Happy Birthday (dear Sam) to you (x6) Happy Birthday to you (x3) Happy Birthday to you Happy Birthday to you Aus Songtexte Mania
