Happy Hippie Birthday - Soko

Today was your birthday

And I didn’t know what to do

Are you supposed to call the people you love

When you know they don’t love you

Today was your birthday

And I didn’t dare to call

But I thought about you all day

Even at midnight I wanted to call

To be honored to be the first one to send you my love

And wish you

Happy hippie birthday

35 candles on a cake

That I will never taste

35 candles blown away

That I picture in my head

35 years old and I’m 22

And I remember when you used to say

That I was young but you didn’t care at all

16 of June 1973 my parents hadn’t even met

16 of June 1973 was born the only boy

I can ever love

We’re 13 years apart like my parents were

We’re 13 years apart and for them it worked out

They had me and my brother

As achievement of their love

They had me and my brother

My mother loved my father so

That she would never let him down

My father loved my mother so

That he would never let her down

He loved her until the day he died

She will love him until the day she dies

You could love me until the day you die

Because I will love you until the day I die

And even more
