I’ve watched you shine
Through 47 Years
I’ve called you mine
And not a day goes by
When I don’t think of you
Happy 47th birthday
From me to you

Thanks for the memories
Thanks for the laughter
Thanks for everything we’ve shared
Today and forever after,
I’m thrilled to call you my friend
So happy 47th birthday to you
And here’s to 47 more years
Of a friendship so true.

47 years ago you came on this earth
And since then you’ve accomplished so much
I’ve watched as you faced every struggle in life
And overcome everything by being so tough.
Don’t forget that I love you
as you blow out those candles today
And know that I love you
in each and every single way.

You charmed me with your wit
And you held me captive with your style

I hope you’ll spend it with me for awhile.

I will be happily there.

When you look even a little worn.
