ADA
Today has been my birthday and tonight I should be glad
DABE
But you weren't here to share it and inside I've hurt so bad
ADA
I didn't want your presence just your kiss and company
DAEA
And your lips to softly whisper happy birthday to me
ADA
But I came home all by myself and lit the candle
E
Made a wish for you and love that used to be
ADA
I unwrapped the tiny package that I bought myself
DAFA
Then I sang happy birthday to me
ADA
I thought for sure you sent me at least a birthday card
DABE
But the postman didn't even stop when he passed by my yard
ADA
You could have telephone and ease a lot of misery
DAEA
Instead I called myself and said happy birthday to me
ADA
Then I came home all by myself and lit the candle
E
Made a wish for you and love that used to be
ADA
I unwrapped the tiny package that I bought myself
DAFA
Then I sang happy birthday to me
