When you were born, not so many years ago,

I thought my heart would burst,

So much love, so much joy,

To have this child, to hold this boy.

Your eyes sparkled with life

And you were such a delight,

And gave laughter with the brightness of each day,

My darling child , my precious boy.

On your birthday every year

As you blew out your candles, oh, so near,

I knew such sweet bliss as I gave you a kiss,

My darling child, my precious boy.

Today as I watch the balloons go up in the sky,

And I send you my prayers and my love,

I’m reminded again of that very first time I saw

My darling child, my precious boy.

Early mornings rise and greet the day

Sunlight beams across the floor

Little pitty-pats come through our bedroom door,

Arms in the air, smiles across his face,

His happy day is finally here!

Make the cake, candles blue

Presents are all wrapped up too

Friends and family have all arrived,

Balloons hanging low, party hats in a row,

His happy day is finally here!

Oh what joy! Oh, what fun!

Another birthday for my son,

And then, how the years go by so fast,

And we don’t know which one will be the last.

Look back and smile at yesterday

And all the happy birthdays of the past.

Softly,

As the breeze blows

As the tide flows

As the birds fly

As I think of you and I,

So softly…

As the purple haze fades

Into the starlit sky

I think of you and wonder why

It had to be this way

As I think of you and I,

So softly…

So many days

So many nights

Lost without you

Yearning for you

And it continues,

So softly…
