| Today was your birthday
|
| And I didn’t know what to do
|
| Are you supposed to call the people you love
|
| When you know they don’t love you
|
| Today was your birthday
|
| And I didn’t dare to call
|
| But I thought about you all day
|
| Even at midnight I wanted to call
|
| To be honored to be the first one to send you my love
|
| And wish you
|
| Happy hippie birthday
|
| 35 candles on a cake
|
| That I will never taste
|
| 35 candles blown away
|
| That I picture in my head
|
| 35 years old and I’m 22
|
| And I remember when you used to say
|
| That I was young but you didn’t care at all
|
| 16 of June 1973 my parents hadn’t even met
|
| 16 of June 1973 was born the only boy
|
| I can ever love
|
| We’re 13 years apart like my parents were
|
| We’re 13 years apart and for them it worked out
|
| They had me and my brother
|
| As achievement of their love
|
| They had me and my brother
|
| My mother loved my father so
|
| That she would never let him down
|
| My father loved my mother so
|
| That he would never let her down
|
| He loved her until the day he died
|
| She will love him until the day she dies
|
| You could love me until the day you die
|
| Because I will love you until the day I die
|
| And even more |
