Another Happy Birthday

It's harder to hold on With every passing year As the memories fade You slowly disappear I try to keep you close Alive in my heart Though with no one there to hold me I'm coming apart And your birthday is the worst day I'm singing to a ghost Happy birthday I forget how it goes And I'm all dressed up I know it isn't right Pour myself another glass Turn off all the lights And sit for a while Aching and alone Waiting in the dark for you So I sit for a while Aching and alone Waiting in the dark for you To come home
