HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO LOVE
Lyrics and music by Dave Franklin

[RKO Radio, 1938] )


(Verse)
Tonight a million candles fill the sky
To light the way for us as we go by.
'Twas just a year ago that we both met,
So here is a toast, my dear,
We'll never forget:

(Chorus)
Happy Birthday To Love,
Happy Birthday To Love.
Let's go and get a cake -
Thank that lucky break 
That let me meet you in the moonlight
A year ago tonight.

Happy Birthday To Love,
Happy Birthday To Love.
And when the clock strikes eight,
Let's go celebrate
The first time that I held you so tight
A year ago tonight.

In your eyes there was a tender gleam,
A promise of a dream to be fulfilled.
I was thrilled with wonderful you,
And to think that dream came true.

Happy Birthday To Love,
Happy Birthday To Love.
Dear, I see you and me -
Maybe there'll be three sharing this delight
Year after year after year exactly like tonight.
