Tune: Yankee Doodle
A journey now we take today to have a little fun
And celebrate, so Ruthie says, the families favorite one
There are friends that share your joy with you like Don and Lois too
The question with dessert today – “Who’ll have more – her or you?”
‘Twas back in ’30 when you were born some things that happened then
Like Pluto was discovered – the computer was born – it’s been with you since way back when
So many things that make you smile from sports to dining out
Just keep in mind that remote you wield makes Ellen want to shout
Then there’re the kids – they care for you – they send you lots of love
From Cindy, Brad – Natalia too – they’re gifts sent from above
The little ones will come along each in their perfect time
You’re dreams will be fulfilled you’ll see – you’re heart and eyes will shine
Now Gino and Bruno fill that space – the “grandkids” for a while
And Cousin Sergio – TJ too they really make you smile
They’ve energy to share with you – you beam at them and play
They give to you and you give back in such a joyous way
So Ellen says your hair has style, oh my, don’t you look fine
The moments there when first you met – those memories sealed in time
“The Second Time Around” you hear the love comes shining down
And “Fascination” tells of love you both spread all around
Delight in you – her love today – you see it in her face
Her smile – her eyes – are shining through with beauty and with grace
So as we close this song this year just know her love is true
The melody will linger on – now and your whole life through
