A Birthday for Marina

[Verse] The sun rises slow, casting shadows so long, In this sleepy small town where our hearts belong, Morning dew sparkles like diamonds that gleam, Today’s your day, love, like a sweet country dream. [Verse 2] Marina, my darling, with your eyes ocean blue, Like the river that runs through the fields we both knew, We built us a life on love’s simple grace, Sowing seeds of tomorrow, in this sacred place. [Chorus] Happy birthday to you, my sweet country queen, Every day you’re my muse, in this life we have seen, Through the laughter and tears, with each passing year, You’re the song in my heart, and I hold you so dear. [Verse 3] From our first little home to this wide open land, We’ve walked dusty roads, always hand in hand, Your smile is my sunrise, your touch is my peace, With you, life’s a melody that never will cease. [Verse 4] Marina, for you, under stars up above, We’ll dance to the tune of an old-fashioned love, By the fire we’ll sit, as the night gently falls, Your birthday I cherish, in these lonesome country halls. [Chorus] Happy birthday to you, my sweet country queen, Every day you’re my muse, in this life we have seen, Through the laughter and tears, with each passing year, You’re the song in my heart, and I hold you so dear.
