Paroles de Happy Birthday, Ada Mae

Ada Mae, you're two today
Guess I'll be gone before you're twenty
Happy birthday, Ada Mae
I wrote a song for you

Who can say what's coming at you?
This old world keeps hurtling on
I could try to tell the future
But I'd be wrong most likely

Ada Mae, you have a way
Of changing everyone around you
We love you more each passing day
Your laugh is yours alone

Oh, I do fear my generation has been sleeping
Deep inside a fever dream
We've sown the whirlwind you'll be reaping
And eaten all the cream

You and I are human animals
And kin to everything alive
One day you'll know a million miracles
Helped you arrive here with us

Ada Mae, I hope you find Happy birthday, Ada Mae
Maybe I'll see you turning twenty
Can you imagine such a day?
Ada Mae, my love is true
Ada Mae, this song's for you
