Happy Birthday Blues

Happy Birthday Blues - Kathy Young/The Innocents

There she sits all alone

Her tear begins to she'd

A written letter in her hand

This is how it read

Turned sixteen just yesterday

Ohhh

All my world was bright and gay

Ohhh

Thought for sure you'd write or call

But you didn't after all

Got the happy birthday blues

Happy birthday blues

Maybe you had lots to do

Ohhh

Or you found somebody new

Ohhh

How I pray you'll hear my plea'

I'm as lonely as can be

Got the happy birthday blues

Happy birthday blues

I planned just how this day would be for such a long

Long time

You'd wish me

Happy birthday while I held your hand in mine

I'd blow out all the candles while

I wished that you and I

Would be together ever more until the day we die

As I sit here in the gloom

Ohhh

Of my cold and lonely room

Ohhh

How my heart is filled with fears and my eyes

Are filled with tears

Got the happy birthday blues

Happy birthday
