THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE... (I HOPE...)

it doesn't matter where I go
it doesn't matter what I've done
it doesn't matter who I'm with
there is no place to run
. . .
it doesn't matter what I do
it doesn't matter what I say
it doesn't matter what is true
every year on this day
the sun shines through
every year come what may
I'll be with you


once upon a time
when hearts were so pure
unknown to the pain
untouched by the war

love was so sublime
and innocence so free
though we may love again
never like it could be

for there's only one first time
when two hearts learn love's rhyme
one spark could be too much
I remember

and there's only one first kiss
as two lips learn love's bliss
so tender to the touch
it's december

and every year your birthday reminds my memory
of the gifts your being born brought to me

once upon a time
when souls were so new
when minds were so open
and hearts were so true

love was so sublime
the most precious game
and though we love again
it is never the same

for there's only one first time
when two hearts learn love's rhyme
one spark could be too much
I remember

and there's only one first kiss
as two lips learn love's bliss
so tender to the touch
it's december

and every year your birthday reminds my memory
of the gifts your being born brought to me

so wake my teenage heart
where dreams of love survive
and once again I start
to love being alive

I owe it all to you
so very long ago
still every year I do
sing Happy Birthday to you
for I want you to know

no matter where you go
no matter what you've done
no matter who you're with
you know where you can run

to me
  whenever you're lonely...

no matter what you do
no matter what you say
no matter what is true
every year on this day
the sun shines through
every year come what may
I'll be with you

no matter what goes on
no matter what we've done
no matter how life is
we knew where we can run

to me
  if you need a shoulder...

no matter where we are
no matter what they say
no matter what is true
every year on this day
the sun shines through
every year come what may
I'll be with you


Happy Birthday Amy J
