On Your Birthday Lyrics The day you were born I was stationed overseas. Missed your first smile, first steps with wobbly knees. Your picture in that soft pink dress - worn out and frayed inside my vest: Days dragged by slowly then, longing to be home again. R/ On your birthday, make a wish for freedom from attack. On your birthday, light a candle for those who won’t come back. My gift to you that year had to come from far away. I could only send my love on your birthday. Headed out for another tour Wiped away your tears as I walked out that door Fourteen candles on your cake; no matter how you’ve grown You’ll still be Daddy’s girl when I get home. R/ On your birthday, make a wish for freedom from attack. On your birthday, light the candles for those who won’t come back. My gift to you this year must come from far away. I can only send my love on your birthday. Bridge: Fighting for my little girl, for her future full and free So she can chase her dreams one day, and for her liberty. I wish I didn’t have to be so far away…….(pause) R/ (full choir) On your birthday, make a wish for freedom from attack. On your birthday, light the candles for those who won’t come back. My gift to you this year must come from far away. I can only send my love on your birthday. (solo voice) I can only send my love on your birthday. End: Family singing “happy birthday” & fade) Return
