9th bday

Lyrics

Happy birthday, sweet girl of mine, Nine years old and it’s your time. There’s treasure waiting, clues to find, With little pieces of your life behind. Every stop’s a memory, Every laugh’s a melody. So take your time, enjoy the ride, Dad’ll be cheering by your side. ⸻ Remember when this house was new, That giant slide was made for you. At three years old you couldn’t wait, One look at that slide helped seal our fate. You may not slide like you did back then, But go where that little girl would’ve been. ⸻ Waffles waits and Biscuits too, They know there’s nobody quite like you. Every day you love and feed Those furry friends with all they need. Go where tiny paws are fed, Your next little clue lies just ahead. ⸻ It’s-a me… can you hear? Mario and Luigi might be near. Power-up, don’t lose your nerve, A hidden prize is what you’ve earned. Head down low where adventures begin, Let’s see what level you can win! ⸻ Pretty isn’t just what you wear, It’s the kindness and love that you always share. But Mom sure smiles when you sit nearby, Getting ready together, laughing eye to eye. Go where your biggest fan gets ready each day, She loves you more than words can say. ⸻ Once we’d cuddle there till noon, Those lazy mornings ended way too soon. Life got busy, the years flew by, Sometimes I wonder where the time could hide. I miss those mornings, just me and you… Go find the place where we used to lose the whole morning too. ⸻ A secret hideout, tucked away, Where Dad escapes for part of the day. But every fortress has a key… Can you figure out how to get to me? Only the brave know where to roam, To sneak inside Dad’s second home. ⸻ You’ve always aimed a little higher, Braver and stronger, full of fire. Don’t be afraid to spread your wings, The greatest adventures come from courageous things. Go where you’ve soared above the ground, Your next surprise is waiting to be found. ⸻ Shoes everywhere, what a sight! Some smell funny… that’s about right! Little feet keep growing tall, And somehow there’s no room at all. Close to the door where sneakers sleep, There’s another clue for you to keep. ⸻ Our favorite screen is quiet for a little while, But soon again it’ll make us smile. Stories, laughter, popcorn too, Some of my favorite nights are spent with you. Every star has to begin somewhere… Go where movie magic will soon fill the air. ⸻ Oh Millie, don’t you ever doubt, You’re what this family’s all about. From daddy-daughter dances, hand in hand, To cheering you on from where I stand. This year’s gone by much too fast, And I don’t want our best days left in the past. So here’s my promise, loud and clear: We’ll make more time for us this year. More little adventures, just me and you, More laughing till our faces hurt too. More daddy-daughter dates, more memories to grow, More making sure you always know— You’ll always be my little girl, No matter how big you grow. I’ll love you through every season, More than you’ll ever know. Happy ninth birthday, Millie. Now go find your treasure.
