Well, if I had my way
             
You'd have a birthday every week
                                       
And you'd choose to spend them all with me
         
I'd come down to the bus stop,
    
Say you can't go to work
                          
You'd take my hand faithfully
         
Then I'd gift wrap my heart
        
And I'd write you a new song
                         
I'd try to right all your wrongs
        
I would play with your hair
       
And suggest what to wear
                                
And I'd paint a smile where it belongs

                         
But I know that you're not broken
                          
And I know that you're not bruised
                   
I know I'm easily forgotten
                 
So Happy Birthday You

       
Oh and every week I'd take you someplace

You've not been before
                        
I'd try to keep it under wraps
        
Well we never drove to Paris
         
And I've never been to Prague
                       
We should try them out, perhaps
           
And we can document our travels
     
On a handheld camera
                           
Put them to a theme song of kind
          
If you've nothing left to show for it
    
The story never fits
                                 
And the notion of the day is undermined

                         
But I know that you're not broken
                          
And I know that you're not bruised
                   
I know I'm easily forgotten
                 
So Happy Birthday You

Well when we get home you're tired
              
But you don't want to go to bed
                       
So you lay in my arms instead
            
You'd say tonight was just perfection
            
And I don't want to go to sleep
                       
Can we do the same next week?

                         
But I know that you're not broken
                          
And I know that you're not bruised
                   
I know I'm easily forgotten
                 
So Happy Birthday You

                           
Yeah, I know that you're not broken
                          
And I know that you're not bruised
                   
I know I'm easily forgotten
                 
So Happy Birthday You

              
Happy Birthday You
              
Happy Birthday You
              
Happy Birthday You
              
Happy Birthday You
              
Happy Birthday You
