Marc fine

Lyrics

Verse 1 It all began with a phone call, From the other side of the world, The twenty-third of September, Our whole new story unfurled. Twenty-thirteen, we heard the news, A little boy was finally here, And suddenly life felt brighter, Even from so far, you felt near. We counted down the hours from Italy, Till we could hold you tight, We couldn’t wait for that first cuddle, To meet you felt just right. And from the moment we held you, There was something we all knew, Our family had grown a little brighter, Just because of you. Chorus Oh Marky, look how far you’ve come, Thirteen trips around the sun, From that curious little boy we knew, To the beautiful person you’ve grown into. A loyal heart, a clever mind, A gentle soul, one of a kind, Thirteen years of laughs and love, And we’re so lucky to have you, Mark. Verse 2 You were curious from the beginning, Always wanting to know some more, With the questions of someone much older, Always ready to learn and explore. Every car and every number plate, Every model, every name, Somehow that incredible memory Could remember every single thing! The facts would stick inside your mind, Like they’d always belonged there too, And we’d laugh and shake our heads and say, “How does he even know that too?” Chorus Oh Marky, look how far you’ve come, Thirteen trips around the sun, That curious mind, that heart so true, They’re still the things we love in you. A loyal heart, a clever mind, A gentle soul, one of a kind, Thirteen years of laughs and love, And we’re so lucky to have you, Mark. Verse 3 – Fridays at Nonna and Nonno’s Then came those special Fridays, The days we’d wait all week to see, I’d rush straight over to Nonna and Nonno’s house, ’Cause I knew where you’d be. Sitting there and playing games with Nonno, With that gorgeous little chuckle too, And we’d sit around just watching, Completely in love with you. Those Fridays meant the world to Nonno, He couldn’t wait till you came through, And Marky, what a special gift, Those days were for him too. You brought him laughs, you brought him joy, A happiness so pure and true, How lucky you both were to share Those precious Fridays, just you two. Verse 4 – Nonna And Nonna made each day an adventure, There was always something new, Balloons and bubbles, soap suds flying, Books and drawings waiting for you. Little experiments, games and stories, There was always more to do, Like your very own little kinder, Made especially for you. And somewhere amongst those special days, A little seed began to grow, A love of nature, life and learning, More than you could ever know. Verse 5 – My Godson Then I got the greatest honour, To be your godmother too, And of all the roles that life has given me, I’m so proud of this one with you. Because we have something special, Marky, A bond that’s hard to explain, A comfort when we’re together, That has always stayed the same. You make me laugh, you make me happy, And somehow, even now, You’re teaching me your little facts, And I’m still asking, “How?!” Verse 6 – Big Cousin & Big Brother Then we watched you become the big cousin, And a big brother through and through, Always caring, always watching, That protective side of you. You take the time to know your cousins, What they love and what they do, With games and laughs and endless patience, They’re so lucky to have you. And for your little sister, You’ll always have her back, Standing up and looking out for her, No matter where life takes you both. That loyalty runs deep in you, It’s something rare and true, Your friends and all your family Are so lucky to have you. Final Chorus Oh Marky, look how far you’ve come, Thirteen trips around the sun, From that tiny boy we couldn’t wait to meet, To the young man standing on his feet. With your giant heart and brilliant mind, Your loyalty that’s hard to find, You’ve filled our lives with laughs and love, And we’re so lucky to have you, Mark. Outro Thirteen years upon this earth, Thirteen years since that special birth, Thirteen years of watching you grow, And there’s one thing we hope you know… From Italy to here today, You’ve brightened every step along the way. Our clever boy, our loyal one, Our godson, brother, cousin, son. So make a wish and celebrate, There’s so much more that lies ahead. Happy thirteenth birthday, Marky, We love you more than words can ever say. Happy Birthday, Marky. ❤️
