Birthday Blues
blues guitar-driven soulfulLyrics
[Verse]
The cake is melting on the table
Candles flicker in the dark
Your old records on the turntable
Strumming blues is where we start
[Verse 2]
Got the family gathered 'round here
Smiling faces in the gloom
But we're missing your old laughter
Echoes whisper through the room
[Chorus]
Happy birthday daddy dear
Even though you're not so near
Every note and every tear
Keeps your memory crystal clear
[Verse 3]
We recall those nights of stories
Whiskey shots and gentle tunes
Playing cards beneath the porchlight
Bantering beneath the moon
[Bridge]
Your old hat still in the closet
Boots still resting by the door
Guess your shadow never left us
You're the blues we still adore
[Chorus]
Happy birthday daddy dear
Even though you're not so near
Every note and every tear
Keeps your memory crystal clear
