[Verse]

Candles burn but the room feels cold

I light them up for your heart of gold

You’re the gift I’ll always keep

Even if you're out of reach

[Prechorus]

The clock ticks but it don’t heal

Time moves slow when love’s so real

[Chorus]

Happy birthday my true true love

You’re in the stars and skies above

I wish you were here in flesh to share this day

But your spirit whispers

Baby, It’s okay

Happy birthday my true true love

[Verse 2]

I’d bake your favorite cake and sing you a song

The words choke me, you've been gone too long

Still I feel you in the breeze

A quiet warmth

A gentle tease

Chorus]

Happy birthday my true true love

You’re in the stars and skies above

I wish you were here in flesh to share this day

But your spirit whispers

Baby, It’s okay

Happy birthday my true true love

[Bridge]

The frosting’s sweet but it can’t compare

To the laughter we used to share

I hold your memory close tonight

A flame that never leaves my sight

Happy birthday my true true love

Happy birthday my true true love
