Happy Birthday Darlin'
Unwrapping Love: Conway Twitty's Birthday Message of Taking and Giving
Lyrics
Hello darlin' happy birthday
Greeting the person and expressing birthday wishes.
I've decided not to give you a present this year
Deciding not to give a physical present this year.
In fact I think it's about time I took some things away
Expressing an intention to remove certain negative aspects or burdens.
I'd like to take away this suspicion that I know clouds your world at times
Addressing suspicions that affect the person's emotions.
By giving you some faith to hold on to honey whenever your hand is not in mine
Promising to provide faith and emotional support when apart.
Happy birthday darlin' I've no presents, no fancy cake
Reiterating birthday wishes, acknowledging the absence of traditional gifts.
But I hope I'll make you happy with everything I take
Expressing the hope of bringing happiness by addressing issues.
I'd like to take away some of your lonely moments, by spendin' more of mine with you
Expressing a desire to reduce loneliness by spending more time together.
And I'd like to take away some of those so-so kisses
Acknowledging that some kisses were not meaningful and pledging to improve.
And replace them with ones that really say I love you
Committing to replace average kisses with ones expressing genuine love.
And I wanna take away the doubt you sometimes have about my love
Expressing a desire to eliminate doubt about the depth of love.
By showin' more much more that I've shown lately
Committing to demonstrate love more frequently than in the recent past.
And then if someone said asked you what I've got you for your birthday
Suggesting that the real gift is intangible and emotional, not material.
Well you can say, why, he didn't give me anything, but he sure took a lotta things away
Playfully stating that the person received intangible gifts, not physical ones.
Happy birthday darlin' I've no presents, no fancy cake
Repeating birthday wishes and the absence of traditional gifts.
But I hope I'll make you happy with everything I take
Reiterating the hope of bringing happiness by addressing emotional needs.
Happy birthday darlin' I've no presents, no fancy cake
Repeating birthday wishes and the absence of traditional gifts.
But I hope I'll make you happy with everything I take
Emphasizing the hope of bringing happiness by addressing emotional needs.
Happy birthday darlin'
Concluding with birthday wishes, highlighting the emotional nature of the gift.
