She had another birthday ...
And she sat before the mirror ~
She contemplated her gray hair...
Her wrinkles and her years.

But she didn't need to fret...
And she really shouldn't fear ~
Cause her gray hairs are memories ...
Her wrinkles are souvenirs.

Each strand of silver shows a worry...
That never came to pass ~
Each deep line upon her face ,.,
Is there because she laughed.

There have been times of trouble ...
And there have been days of stress ~
But life has really been quite good...
For she's been truly blessed.

And so it's Happy Birthday...
She is so very dear ~
For her gray hairs are memories...
And her wrinkles are souvenirs.
