[bodytext] => It’s been a quarter century. Then add to it one more year. Even though Elvis had to die, We’re sure glad You are here! I know I’ve written mushy rhymes With sentiment from every pore. But somehow honey this year, You deserve just so much more. You’re not that far from thirty now. Then ten years more, oh holy cow! And after that’s quite nifty, Some day you shall turn fifty. The king was fine At rock-n-roll. But I rocked your cradle, And took you for strolls. I gave your back A gentle pat. You burped up on me. It’s always been like that. I burped on my mother too. When we are babes What else can we do? I’ve really gotten off the track. like the delivery room doctor, Give me a whack. I never felt much more alive, Than the day I taught you how to drive. If you wonder what this is coming too, It’s just to say “HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!” To My Baby Girl, Amy!
