Oro's Star Shining Tonight

The calendar is marked in gold today,

The sun is shining in a different way,

Even though you're thousands of miles out of sight,

You're the only star I'm wishing on tonight,

Happy birthday, my Oro, I hope you can feel,

That the love in this room is the only thing real.

Happy birthday, my husband, my heart, my own,

I'm singing this loud across the telephone,

No miles can touch what we've built in our souls,

You're the home in my heart, you're the half of my whole,

Happy birthday, Oro, till you're back in my arms.

I baked your favorite cake and I lit every light,

Talking to your picture through the middle of the night,

I'm counting down the days and the hours and the flights,

Just to see your face and fix all the wrongs and the rights,

Happy birthday, my love, you're the bravest I know,

And I'm keeping the fire till you're ready to go.

Happy birthday, my husband, my heart, my own,

I'm singing this loud across the telephone,

No miles can touch what we've built in our souls,

You're the home in my heart, you're the half of my whole,

Happy birthday, Oro, till you're back in my arms.

Soon the distance is just gonna be a story we tell,

Soon we'll break out of this lonely, hollow shell,

Wait for me, wait for us, wait for the day,

When I finally look into your eyes and I say...

Happy birthday, Oro.

(I'm waiting right here.)

Always.
