Hello darlin' happy birthday
I've decided not to give you a present this year
In fack I think it's about time I took some things away
I'd like to take away this suspicion that I know clouds your world at times
By giving you some faith to hold on to honey whenever your hand is not in mine

Happy birthday darlin' I've no presents no fancy cake
But I hope I'll make you happy with everything I take

I'd like to take away some of your lonely moments by spendin' more of mine with you
And I'd like to take away some of those so-so kisses
And replace them with ones that really say I love you
And I wanna take away the doubt you sometimes have about my love
By showin' more much more that I've shown lately
And then if someone said asked you what I've got you for your birthday
Well you can say why he didn't give me anything but he sure took a lotta things away
Happy birthday darlin'...
Happy birthday darlin'...
Happy birthday darlin'
