Happy Birthday
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Simon is twenty in half an hour,
So this is for him:
Those down days
When you felt so young
And everything seemed
You saw the people
Around you
Getting old
You wake up
The teenage yearn is
Gone for you
It happens to others
It happens all the time
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
The candles on the cake
Waiting to be blown
Wish I was
An other...
Please give me
An other...
