Typed transcription
When Autumn leaves gently flutter,
Down to the cool earth,
Reminding time is drawing near,
A birthday of great worth.
I must pay a little tribute,
Against an imagined debt,
Owed to you, my Darling—
How could I ever forget?
The loving care so tenderly
Bestowed on me by you,
Is gratefully accepted, dear,
Knowing such wives are few.
An expensive birthday present,
Which you so well deserve,
Will also not be forthcoming—
These loving words must serve.
A gentle stroll through woodlands,
A drink, a little wine,
Let’s hope we can continue
To find such simple time.
So Happy Birthday, Darling,
Please do not count the years,
To me you’re still the sweetest girl
Whom I love more and more.
