Bright Lights, Big City movie - Happy Birthday Darling lyrics

rate me

<br>

Mom:<br>

You were such a funny boy<br>

An awful baby, Jamie<br>

A terrible screamer, a beautiful dreamer<br>

A looker out of windows<br>

But whenever you would put your darling little hand in mine<br>

There wouldn’t be another proud as me<br>

To be your mother<br>

It just felt right<br>

Hold my hand; are you still holding my hand?<br>

Happy birthday darling, nine!<br>

I can’t believe it seem like only yesterday since you came by<br>

To say your first hello<br>

Hey, how about a little rock and roll?<br>

Let’s put some Beatles on the stereo<br>

Have a Coca Cola, buddy<br>

Honey, all I know is you’ve got it right from the start<br>

Happy birthday darling, fifteen!<br>

Can’t believe it, here’s your present<br>

Yeah, my old typewriter<br>

The one that you’ve been pining for<br>

I read the book you lent me, it’s so powerful<br>

James Joyce—now there’s a voice<br>

No when you write my son, make the choice,<br>

Find your voice; look down deep in your heart<br>

Happy birthday darling, happy birthday darling<br>

And I’m worried about Michael<br>

And the things he doesn’t say<br>

What with Daddy being away so much these days<br>

Reach out to him Jamie, cause he thinks <br>

That I don’t love him like I love you<br>

Happy birthday darling, twenty-one!<br>

I can’t believe it, graduation<br>

English major, ivy leaguer’s what you are<br>

A new job at the Kansas Star<br>

Paint word pictures if you can<br>

Paint the portrait of the artist as a young man<br>

Deep breath and follow your heart<br>

Happy birthday darling<br>

Happy birthday darling, hold my hand<br>

Happy birthday darling<br>

Happy birthday darling<br>

<br>
