Today was your birthday
Although you were not here
Spring has come, just as it does
...year after each long year
Today was your birthday
The cold, dark winters pass
The sun now bright, the world now green
Without you to romp through the grass
Today was your birthday
The sea still ebbs and flows
Flowers bloom, life begins anew
The circle of life still grows
Today was your birthday
Life silently smiles wide
Sunny days beckon and plead
Come, see what's outside
Today was your birthday
I still remember well
How you bit the tiny blossoms
I held to your nose to smell
Today was your birthday
It came without you, Dear
A lovely day it was, indeed
My smile kept in company, by a silent tear
Today was your birthday
You, my love, my joy, my pride
This quiet day without you, not as lonely
With your "Echo", always now, by my side
Happy Birthday, Leibchen
Marmy loves you
