THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE... (I HOPE...) THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE... (I HOPE...) THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE... (I HOPE...) THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE...
MEL'S GARDEN
SOMETHING INSIDE MORE PRECIOUS THAN WORDS EVER HEARD
hey girl, whatcha doing today
do you still smile that smile that melts all cares away?
you know the one I mean
the one few have ever seen
the one you hide from everyone who fails to see
you know, the one you couldn't hide from me
hey girl, it's your nineteenth birthday
do you know I'm out here singing this song to you?
you're still so beautiful
wonderful, magical
the one I loved so much I couldn't even say
you know, the fool who had to run away
and if I could
I'd change the past
I'd be with you now
if I could
I'd make it last
but I don't know how
if I could
I'd make today
the best day you ever knew
if I could
I would say
Happy Birthday to you
it's Melanie's Birthday
Happy Birthday Mel
do you hear what I say?
how could I tell?
I can only hope somehow
that you are listening right now
I'll rebel yell
I'll ring a bell
so much to tell
it's Melanie's Birthday
Happy Birthday Mel
hey girl, remember this old fool
the one who tried so hard to be perfectly cool
you know the one I mean
the one few have ever seen
the one who hides from everyone who isn't true
you know, the one who couldn't hide from you
hey girl, it's your nineteenth birthday
do you know I'm out here telling the world abut it?
you're still so beautiful
wonderful, magical
the one I loved so much right to this very day
you know, the fool who had to run away
and if I could
I'd turn back time
I'd be with you there
if I could
I'd write the rhyme
that would make you appear
if I could
I'd make today
the best day you ever knew
if I could
I would say
Happy Birthday to you
it's Melanie's Birthday
Happy Birthday Mel
do you hear what I say?
how could I tell?
I can only hope somehow
that you are listening right now
I'll rebel yell
I'll ring a bell
so much to tell
but let's just start with
Happy Birthday Mel
it's Melanie's Birthday
Happy Birthday Mel
Happy Birthday Mel
(You're Nineteenth Birthday)
