62 CANDLES
Today, May 16th, is my birthday but instead of singing 16 Candles by Roy Orbison, I've been hearing 62 Candles by Darryl DelHousaye! Here are his new words to an old original:
Happy birthday, happy birthday, baby
Oh, I love you so
62 candles make a frightening sight
Way more bright than your eyes tonight (than your eyes tonight-oh!)
Blow out the candles, try to huff and puff
Call 9-1-1 when it gets too tough (when it gets too tough)
You're only 62 (62)
But you're my middle age queen (you're my queen)
- He redeemed himself here -
You're the prettiest, loveliest girl I've ever seen (I've ever seen-oh!)
62 candles in my heart will glow
For ever and ever for I love you so (for I love you so)
You're only 62 (62)
But you're my middle age queen (you're my queen)
You're the prettiest, loveliest girl I've ever seen (I've ever seen-oh!)
62 candles in my heart will glow
For ever and ever for I love you so (for I love you so)
For I love you so!!!
Birthdays are birth anniversaries that remind me to celebrate the goodness of God. They are opportunities to break out of my normal routines, kick up my heels, and openly express how satisfied I am with my life.
This has been a good day! I have been deluged by friends on facebook. With uncharacteristic spontaneity, Darryl and I had breakfast together at The Original Pancake House this morning. I opened a beautiful Nordstrom's package I had been holding until today to find a fabulous leopard bag from a generous friend.
My mailbox was jammed with thoughtful cards. I feel blessed!
It has been said that a wise husband makes his wife's birthday cake large enough to make it memorable but small enough so it cannot hold all the candles! I say let it all hang out! Make it large enough for all the candles! 62 candles really don't make a frightening sight - they just make the festivities extra, extra bright!
