Happy Hippie Birthday

Today was your birthday
And I didn't know what to do
Are you supposed to call the people you love
When you know they don't love you
Today was your birthday
And I didn't dare to call
Though I thought about you all day
Even at midnight I wanted to call
To be honored to be the first one to send you my love
And wish you
Happy hippie birthday
Happy hippie birthday
Happy hippie birthday
Happy hippie birthday
35 candles on a cake
That I will never taste
35 candles blown away
That I picture in my head
35 years old and I'm 22
And I remember how you used to say
That I was young but you didn't care at all
Happy hippie birthday
Happy hippie birthday
Happy hippie birthday
Happy hippie birthday
16 of June 1973
My parents hadn't even met
16 of June 1973
Was born the only boy I can ever love
13 years apart
Like my parents were
We're 13 years apart and for them it's worked out
They had me and my brother
They had me and my brother as achievements of their love
They had me and my brother
They had me and my brother
My mother loved my father so
That she would never let him down
My father loved my mother so
That he would never let her down
He loved her until the day he died
Until the day he died
Until the day he died
She will love him until the day she dies
Until the day she dies
Until the day she dies
And you could love me till the day you die
Until the day you die
Until the day you die
Cause I will love you until the day I die
Until the day I die
Until the day I die
And even more
