Birthday Song (Live/1973)

Birthday Song (Live/1973) - Don McLean

If I could say the things I feel it wouldn't be the same

Some things are not spoken of some things have no name

And though the words come hard to me I'll say them just for you

For this is something rare for me this feeling is so new

You see I love the way you love me

Love the way you smile at me

I love the way we live this life we're in

Long ago I heard the song that lovers sing to me

And through the days with each new phrase I hummed that melody

And all along I loved the song but I never learned it through

But since the day you came along I've saved it just for you

You see I love the way you love me

Love the way you smile at me

I love the way we live this life we're in

I don't believe in magic but I do believe in you

When you say you believe in me

There's so much magic I can do

Now you see me now you don't watch me dive below

Deep down in your love lake where the sweet fish come and go

And I might sink and I might drown but death don't mean a thing

'Cause life continues right or wrong when I play this

Birthday song

I learned from you

And you can't even sing
