Lyrics

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

[Verse 1]
Another year has flown right by, my boy, you're growing tall
Seems just like yesterday I taught you how to catch a ball
Now you're chasing dreams with fire in your eyes so bright
Happy birthday, son, shine on with all your might.

[Chorus]
Happy birthday, son, from the bottom of my heart
You've been a blessing, right from the very start
May your path be true, beneath the starlit sky
With a father's love that will never, ever die.

[Verse 2]
I remember scraped up knees and stories in the dark
Your laughter echoing, leaving its own special mark
Through every challenge, every joy, I've watched you brave and bold
A chapter in our family story, more precious than pure gold.

[Chorus]
Happy birthday, son, from the bottom of my heart
You've been a blessing, right from the very start
May your path be true, beneath the starlit sky
With a father's love that will never, ever die.

[Bridge]
The world will test you, son, and sometimes knock you down
But know you're always welcome in our little country town
Our roots run deep, our bond is strong, a shelter from the storm
My love for you, a guiding light, keeping your spirit warm.

[Chorus]
Happy birthday, son, from the bottom of my heart
You've been a blessing, right from the very start
May your path be true, beneath the starlit sky
With a father's love that will never, ever die.

[Outro]
Yeah, a father's love, forever true, my son, happy birthday to you.
