Happy Birthday To Me

by Hank Locklin

v.1
Today has been my birthday, and tonight I should be glad
But you weren't here to share it, and inside I feel so bad
Well I didn't want your presents, just your kiss and company
Someone to whisper softly, happy birthday

Chorus:
I came home all by myself and lit the candles
Made a wish for you and love that used to be
I unwrapped the tiny package that I bought myself
And I sang happy birthday

v.2
Well I thought for sure you'd send me at least a birthday card
But the postman didn't even stop when he went by my yard
I thought for sure you'd telephone and ease my misery
But instead I called myself and said Happy birthday to me
