Happy Birthday (For Yesterday)

Did you skate figure eight On the ice in Central Park? Did you throw balls of snow At your friends until dark? I guess I wanted to say I first called you when I woke up I think it was almost eight But I probably just missed you I must have been too late Called back that night at seven-thirty Then I waited up till ten In the dark in my pajamas As the phone rang out again Did the host raise a toast To the day your life began? Did someone bake your favourite cake With your name in marzipan? I just called to say Happy birthday for I couldn't help but think of last year When it was just us two But I'm sure you can celebrate Without the help of you-know-who And if all the gang were with you It must have been a gas Didn't want you to think that I forgot, I kid you not Now, did you go to a show And sentimentally keep the stub? Did you give hugs from the drugs That you bought in a night club? I just called to say Happy birthday For yesterday --- Happy Birthday (For Yesterday) - Darren Hanlon
