Happy Birthday To Me
Composer(s): Bill Anderson
Performer(s): Hank Locklin



Today has been my birthday and tonight I should be glad
But you weren't here to share it and inside I hurt so bad
I didn't want your present, 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'd send me at least a birthday card
But the postman didn't even stop when he passed by my yard
You could have telephoned 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
