Paul Coleman Trio - The Birthday Song Lyrics

Well I travel so far to be where you are

I'm leaving this sad and lonely place

You tell me receive but it's hard to believe

That everyday can be my birthday

(That I could live inside this grace)



It's coming true all the things you promised me

It's coming true all the day alive



And I believe it's only time, yeah that's in my way now

And I can leave this crooked line



The mystery you are to me

All the things you said I don't understand

I realize now that it takes time



Uh oh, it's my birthday

Well I cut the cake, blow out the candles

I'm staring down at my shoes

So tell me why when you sing

Happy birthday, receiving is so hard to do

Happy birthday to you
