At Least It's Not an Alligator

this is for the cake i wish i could bake
this is for the perfect day i wish i could make for you
this is for the balloons and the presents and the games
the surprises the treasures and the things i wish i could do
this is for the snacks that i want to bring
this is for the beer that i want you to drink
this is for the charm that would woo you away
from the classes and take you too the park to play
until your party starts
until it starts getting dark
well the winters over and the days are getting longer
and the love keeps getting stronger, in my heart
and all thought it seems so gray
today's a happy day
i wish i could be there to rub my fingers through you hair
and i'm sorry that i'm away
this is for the times i wish we were having
this is for the trips i wish we were planning
and this is for the pictures i wish we would take
this is for the memories i wish we could make
and this is for the bread and the cheese and the fruit
this is for the best smoothie i would make for you
this is for the millions time's i would say you were cute
this is for you, yeah this is for you
i still got it somewhere in the back of my brain
that if i write the perfect song i could fix everything
and all i really know how to do is sing
so, la la la la la happy birthday
la la la la la happy birthday
la la la la la happy birthday
la la la la la happy birthday
