Happy birthday to a special friend
Although I haven't known you many years
Perhaps because you've dried so many tears
Pleasure reigns as I these greetings send
Your happiness should last till all things end
Because you've been so sweet and understanding
In toughest times you've made me laugh and smile
Rejoice in your own specialness awhile
This I'm not requesting but demanding
How else to make yourself the celebration
Doing what does not come naturally
Always your concern has been for me
Yet now you must endure my adoration
