To the one and only love in my life,

I say Happy Birthday to you my wife.

And as this Birthday is fading away,

And the hair on your head turns towards gray,

I want you to see yourself with my eyes.

See how your love makes my heart and spirit rise.

See how you light the room when you are near

See how with you I can face the world without fear.

See how to me your like the finest wine.

Getting better and better and all mine.

So on this of all days I want you to know,

For you my love will always and forever flow.
