Happy Birthday.

To the woman I've never met but know almost everything about
Enjoy and celebrate, and take plenty of pictures
I'll never look at them, but someone's going to want to remember you
Just as you are right now

Beautiful with pin straight hair caught in the corners of your mint lips
Look beyond the camera and smile big
Focus on the point in the distance and try not to blink
You've been great at it for years, so I'm sure today is no different

Put something on you've been waiting to wear
Make sure he notices, he probably won't on his own
Stand tip-toed, one foot arched more than the other
Show off those legs in the best possible way

Each year on my birthday I blow out my candles to the West
I watch the smoke travel as far as it can go as it settles above me
For a brief moment I panic but then I remember there is no reason
The winds from the Atlantic hardly ever reach your boarder anyway

If you remember tonight though, just as someone clumsily carries a cake your way
Angle yourself to the East, stand facing home, and close your eyes
Make a wish that gives you chills when you think about it coming true
And wait as you feel the wind pick up from behind you and as candle smoke hits your face
Mother Nature has always been a sucker for romantics
