Is much bigger than last year
It took time to find something
For someone I hold so dear
I looked high, then I looked low
I looked left, the I looked right
The all of a sudden a card
This card came into my sight
It cost a little more
But for you I’d pay more
Than the card from last year
Which came from the dollar store

Still I have you
After all these years
Still I have you
Much of my life

The people I know
The places I’ve been
The years rolled by
Again and again

Still I have you
After all these years
Still I have you

- Don’t listen to people who say Christmas is overrated. Well at least not until you get my gift. Then it is okay.
- Don‘t think of it as getting older. Wait, think of it just like that…you’re getting older. Happy Birthday
- Someone once told me love is like stinky cheese. Sometimes it stinks but once you get past the taste and smell true love is delicious.
- What is my love to you? ill give you a minute.
- it took me a whole year to remember what I forgot - your Birthday
