Last Friday I was told it was your birthday
I wonder if I can have the chance to say
My heart is ever throbbing when I first saw you
But I knew inside I was not meant for a girl so true
I kept it a secret that I felt something like this
I thought that it will fade in a bliss
Day and night I think of it as a wonder
That you are in my mind to ponder
Just as the waves are tossed to the shore
Deep inside me it is you that I adore
My heart clings to you my dear
Because of you I conquered all my fear
It is my only happiness that you smile
Be there always and stay for a while
To your most special day I send this simple gift
I hope that this will remove your grief
