It’s time for birthday candles on a cake for me

And everyone singing a song we all know from memory

They’ll give me gifts, all kinds of really nice things

All the kinds of presents another birthday brings

But I don’t want a party with streamers and lights

I don’t want any of those party sights

I don’t want a gift that’s decked out in paper and bow

‘Cause there’s only one gift that’ll make this birthday girl glow

For my birthday present, there is nothing anyone can buy

No matter where they shop, how much they spend or how hard they try

I don’t need any colorful flowers, clothes or expensive jewelry

‘Cause there’s only thing that would make me truly happy

And that’s seeing you again, sweet baby.

On this birthday, I’ll softly whisper your name

And then blow out the flickering candles’ flame

And hope to look up and there find

The greatest gift anyone could design

And that’s seeing you again, sweet baby.

What I want, the wish that’s down deep in my soul

Isn’t wrapped up in pretty paper and a bow

The only birthday wishes I want to come true

Is see you again and hear you say, "I love you!"
