lyrics

It’s a love song for Soff…
It’s a love song for Soff…
It’s a love song for Soff…
It's a love song

I love you, happy birthday,
to you to you to you!

It’s a love song for Soff…
It’s a love song for Soff…
It’s a love song for Soff…
It's a love song

I love you, happy birthday,
to you to you to you!

This birthday is another year,
Another ring in the tree
That we are growing you and me,
That we are tending, steadily.

This birthday is another day
With open hearts interlaced,
You take my hand, I see your face,
Together we will find our place.

The calendar is not enough,
To count the ways that I can love,
To chart the moments on this map of us.

The shifting sands and restless tide,
The ancient markers of the time,
Sing quietly “I’m yours and you are mine”
