Another year has crept up on us quicker than I thought it possibly could
If time could slow down, I guess it would
Instead, the hands of time seem to move faster every day
I hope your 70th birthday is special in every way
Try to take a moment out of your busy schedule to enjoy it
You deserve to be happy for every single minute

The hands of time are moving forward even when we forget
I wish that time could slow down if even for a minute
The years are passing us by, but you seem almost ageless
Now, there are some things I must confess
I have always envied your style, wisdom, and grace
I have always admired the warm smile on your face
It is with sincere graciousness I wish you a special 70th birthday
Spent in the most wonderful and awesome way

Happy, happy 70th birthday to an uncle I respect

You have listened to my concerns and helped me face my fears
You have even helped me dry my tears
There is no one who offers more strength and comfort than you
You show such wisdom and charisma in all that you do

How do I let you know how much I love you, uncle dear
It is with a caring heart and with wishes sincere
That I say happy 70th birthday to a special man
