There she sits all alone, her tear begins to shed
|
A written letter in her hand, this is how it read:
|
|
Turned sixteen just yesterday (ooh-ooh-ooh)
|
All my world was bright and gay (ooh-ooh-ooh)
|
Thought for sure you'd write or call but you didn't after all
|
Got the Happy Birthday Blues (Happy Birthday Blues)
|
|
Maybe you had lots to do (ooh-ooh-ooh)
|
Or you found somebody new (ooh-ooh-ooh)
|
How I pray you'll hear my plea, I'm as lonely as can be
|
Got the Happy Birthday Blues (Happy Birthday Blues)
|
|
I planned just how this day would be for such a long, long time
|
You'd wish me "Happy Birthday" while I held your hand in mine
|
I'd blow out all the candles while I wished that you and I
|
Would be together ever more until the day we die
|
|
As I sit here in the gloom (ooh-ooh-ooh)
|
Of my cold and lonely room (ooh-ooh-ooh)
|
How my heart is filled with fears and my eyes are filled with tears
|
Got the Happy Birthday Blues (Happy Birthday Blues)
|
