Here's to another birthday without you.
They say I'm in my sunset years.
I say I've come past half my life.
I don't dare to count the years I have left
Nor the years I've spent relearning how to live.
I'm counting the years I had left you alone.
Six years... I wonder how I'm still here.
Forgive me for letting you be by yourself.
Soon, I'll be by your side once more.
Soon, my love, soon.
