Analysis of A special birthday wish
A Special Birthday wish
It takes one Birthday wish to put a smile on one mothers face
A Birthday wish from one special someone that's already been called to our Heavens place
A soul that was taken from ones family way to soon
One special someone that'll wish a Birthday wish from as far as our moon
It'll complete all the birthday wishes she'll receive that special day
So here's his special birthday wish he'll have me say
Happy Birthday Mom he'll say with a smile from ear to ear
Knowing a birthday wish like this may bring a fallen tear
If he could he would for sure wipe that tear from his mother's eye
Probably tell her there is no reason for her to cry
Being the youngest and the first to go
He would be the first to let her know
Happy Birthday Mom from me to you
Knowing that one Birthday wish wasn't going to come true
A Birthday wish so precious that only a mother could understand
With a Birthday wish given from that special someone that has already arrived in our Heavens promise land
