Happy Birthday to Me

Today has been my birthday And tonight I should be glad But you weren't here to share it And inside I've hurt so bad I didn't want your presence Just your kiss and company And your lips to softly whisper Happy birthday to me But I came home all by myself And lit the candle Made a wish for you And love that used to be I unwrapped the tiny package That I bought myself Then I sang "Happy birthday to me" I thought for sure you sent me At least a birthday card But the postman didn't even stop When he passed by my yard You could have telephone And ease a lot of misery Instead I called myself and said "Happy birthday to me" And I came home all by myself And lit the candle Made a wish for you And love that used to be I unwrapped the tiny package That I bought myself Then I sang "Happy birthday to me"
