Hank Locklin - Happy Birthday To Me lyrics

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...
