Happy Birthday Blues
Kathy Young with the Innocents
Written by Jim Lee
Peaked at # 30 in 1961
Kathy's last Top 40 hit. Even though she sings about being 16, Kathy was really only 15
when she sang this song.
There she sits all alone, her tear begins to shed
A written letter in her hand, this is how it read:
Turned sixteen just yesterday (ooh-ooh-ooh)
All my world was bright and gay (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Thought for sure you'd write or call but you didn't after all
Got the Happy Birthday Blues (Happy Birthday Blues)
Maybe you had lots to do (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Or you found somebody new (ooh-ooh-ooh)
How I pray you'll hear my plea, I'm as lonely as can be
Got the Happy Birthday Blues (Happy Birthday Blues)
I planned just how this day would be for such a long, long time
You'd wish me Happy
Birthday while I held your hand in mine
I'd blow out all the candles while I wished that you and I
Would be together ever more until the day we die
As I sit here in the gloom (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Of my cold and lonely room (ooh-ooh-ooh)
How my heart is filled with fears and my eyes are filled with tears
Got the Happy Birthday Blues (Happy Birthday Blues)
