I'm holding back the tears today

Remembering anew

Those wonderful and precious years

Spent happily with you

And I can't think of anything 

I wouldn't give, to see

That loveable familiar face

That meant so much to me

Just to spend a day with you

And laugh with you again

For since you've been gone, Dad

Life's never been the same

No cake or candles here today
Or presents for you to open
Just love from friends who want to say
Happy Birthday, and that we're hoping
Somehow you can see and know
That we have not forgotten you
That we still remember, even though
You've departed from our view
And if you see us here below
And wonder why we care
It's just because we want to show
That a part of you is still here
You live within each memory's heart
And so you remain, though we're apart
