The Birthday Song

Here I am before my IMac listening to Corrinne May's "The Birthday Song" as I type out this post, on the very Morning of my 27th Birthday... It just occurred to me how much have happened over the past 1 year and I've sprouted so much grey hair... Sigh... Maybe it's a sign for me to colour my hair... Hmm... Oh well... Here's wishing these folks who happen to share the same Birthdate as me... Less the year of course... From EcoID... There's Hazel, Mark and Carol! Xuan Yi, if you "swam" harder... Hee hee... Don't kill me... You might have made it on the same day... But nonetheless, 14 is also a special day! You happen to share the day with my Auntie Violet. Happy Birthday to you too Auntie Violet!!! Then there's Jason Chee's who's B'day falls on the 16th. OK... I've already mentioned the fellas from BMT in my last post... But hey Ian, since you are my Buddy... HAPPY BIRTHDAY again! HA! Also from my family, the August babies are Jerwen, Jerwen's mother and Rhonda! Hey... Congrats Jerwen and Keng Yam! Can't wait for your l'il bundle of joy to come along. Birthdays are such wonderful days... I just saw baby Pheobe today and she's really tiny and cute... Henry and Jane, you guys are really lucky. Here's wishing her health and a smile like the sunny cloudless skies always. Oh yah... Happy 42th Birthday Singapore! Heh =P

THE BIRTHDAY SONG
Corrinne May

Don't worry about that extra line
That's creeping up upon your face
It's just a part of nature's way to say you've grown a little more
Trees have rings and thicker branches
Kids shoes get a little tighter
Every year we're getting closer to who we're gonna be
It's time to celebrate the story of how you've come to be

Happy Birthday, my friend
Here's to all the years we've shared together
All the fun we've had
You're such a blessing
Such a joy in my life
May the good Lord bless you
And may all your dreams come true

So light a candle on your cake
For every smile you've helped create
For every heart and every soul you've helped to grow
A little more
A few more pounds, a little more grey
Don't count the years, just count the way
It takes a little time to go from water into wine
Don't ever lose the wonder of that child within your eyes

Happy Birthday, my friend
Here's to all the years we've shared together
All the fun we've had
You're such a blessing
Such a joy in my life
May the good Lord bless you
And may all your dreams come true
