happy birthday babe (voice memo) – Peter McPoland

Don’t blow your candles out
It isn’t midnight yet
Slowly her hands lie down
And take my lips to bed
Don’t go, I cannot cry
I’d kiss you if you’d let me
Smoke glowing, dancing I
Now see your wish was for me

I’d burn a thousand more
If it meant I could stay
And I’d learn to doubt the shore
Was met with ocean waves
I’d teach the clouds to pour
I’d turn the nights to days
But I’d turn and close the door
Sing “happy birthday, babe”
Sing “happy birthday, babe”
