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