The Story

This is a song written for Helen's Birthday. It was given to her by one of her nephews as a surprise gift. It contains many inside family jokes and sentiments. Needless to say, she loved it!

Listen

Lyrics

I swear sometimes it seems like yesterday I
Remember Simon-Says and Mother-May-I
I can’t believe how long it’s been,
Those were the best of times back then

Now here we are again and it’s your birthday
Upstanding citizen, you’ve come a long way
From paper dolls and tire swings
These days your mind's on other things

And as the years go by
It just gets better
Here with our families
Still making memories
We celebrate this day with you

She likes to have her fun, some say she’s hyper
And she tells everyone she changed my diaper
She always has a certain way
To brighten up a cloudy day
We laugh until we cry when we listen
Her stories full of life, what we’ve been missing
She knows the way to bring us home
So we will never feel alone

And as the years go by
She just gets better
She’ll give her everything
If you need anything
So everybody help me sing

Happy birthday to you…….
Happy birthday dear Helen, happy birthday to you
