Lyrics
Happy, happy birthday baby
Although you’re with somebody new
Thought I’d drop a line to say
That I wish this happy day
Would find me beside you
Happy, happy birthday baby
No, I can’t call you my baby
Seems like years ago we met
On a day I can’t forget
Cause that’s when we fell in love
Do you remember
The names we had for each other
I was your pretty
You were my baby
Oh, how could we say goodbye
Hope I didn’t spoil your birthday
I’m not acting like a lady
So I’ll close this note to you
With good luck and wishes too
Happy happy birthday baby
