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