I still owe four memes, but I decided to post this one first because it will lose its significance if I posted it at some other date. (Note: This entry is published at exactly 12 a.m. of June 21… Fireworks please…!)
Birthday Song by Don McLean
(Want to hear this song? Some guy recorded it here.)
If I could say the things I feel, it wouldn’t be the same
Some things are not spoken of, some things have no name
Though the words come hard to me, I’ll say them just for you
For this is something rare for me this feeling is so new
You see I love the way you love me
I love the way you smile at me
I love the way we live this life we’re in
Long ago I heard the song that lovers sing to me
And through the days with each new phrase I hummed that melody
And all along I loved the song but I never learned it through
But since the day you came along, I’ve saved it just for you
I don’t believe in magic but I do believe in you
And when you say you believe in me
there’s so much magic I can do
Now you see me now you don’t watch me dive below
Deep down in your love lake where the sweet fish come and go
And I might sink and I might drown but death don’t mean a thing
‘Cause life continues right or wrong when I play this birthday song
I learned from you, and you can’t even sing
(Prayer: Thank you, God for another year. Thank you for all your blessings. Thank you for my family. Thank you for my long time friends. Thank you for my newfound blogger friends. Thank you for the good times… I thank you too for the hard times, as they make me stronger each time. And most of all, I thank you because I still breathe life to this day. Would that I can thank you over again in more years to come…. Amen.)
Birthday mo? Wooohoooo! Happy birthday to you! happy birthday to you! Happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday to you!

(actually, i’ve prepared fireworks but the one I contracted lit and popped everything so advance, sukat ba namang sinindihan nung Independence Day, June 12 at the Luneta Park)

Thank you, Feng!

happy birthday! ^_^
Thank you, Liz!
Happy Birthday to you Rhodora…Sayang sira ang headset na gamit ko ngayon pero I think it’s one very famous song. I often see this on old songhits pero not so familiar like other Mclean song such as American Pie or Vincent…
All best wishes for you and more fruitful years in the years ahead…
Happy Birthday to you!
May abundance of happiness, joys and laughter be lavished on you for eternity! All the best in your future undertakings Ate!
(:
Major Tom, thank you!
Yes, this McLean song is popular but not as popular as American Pie and Vincent. In fact, I refer to it as a ‘novelty birthday song’. hehe…. Sayang, if you are only able to listen to it, I’m sure it will be easy for you to play it on your guitar.
Thank you, my dear Kyels! So sweet of you!
Wooohoooo!
Happy Birthday
wish you all the best
Tita kahit saan hehe text mo na lang ako.. shy ko here hehehe
Hi, first time commenting. That guitar player is awesome. thanks for introducing me to this cool song.
Is it your birthday?! Happy birhday! Nice nitong line “I don’t believe in magic but I do believe in you”
Nag-commen ako sa post nito yesterday, pero i got a message na spam daw ang comment ko. Bakit kaya? I guess my comment looked like spam. hehe. Anyway, what I said in the comment kahapon was that I’ve never heard of this song, but it sounds great when I clicked on the click. Definitely a nice song I’ll try to learn on my guitar. Dropping by from our common blog friends, btw.
Happy Birthday Rhodora! Best wishes to you and more blogging as well!
Happy birthday to you, Rhodora! I wish you all the best!
Belated Happy Birthday!
Wow! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
