Hank Locklin 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"
