You have given me so much
And there's little I can give you
'Cause there's no way I can touch
The things your life has been through
Since it does no good to wish
For a life that never ends
I'll just wish for you my special wish
I wish for all my friends
May your talents serve you well
May you often get to use them
May the stories that you tell
To your friends always amuse them
May your health and wealth and wisdom
Go on and on and on
May you find yourself in heaven
Before the devil even knows you're gone
May your nights be filled with romance
May your days be full of laughter
May you always get that one more chance
And a couple more thereafter
May you always be a dreamer
With a star to wish upon
May you find yourself in heaven
Before the devil even knows you're gone
May you always quench your thirst
May you never ever hunger
May your lover always put you first
May each birthday find you younger
May you always have a home
With a love that's yours alone
May you find yourself in heaven
I hope you roll yourself a seven
Follow that one with eleven
I know you'll find yourself in heaven
Before the devil even knows you're gone
And there's little I can give you
'Cause there's no way I can touch
The things your life has been through
Since it does no good to wish
For a life that never ends
I'll just wish for you my special wish
I wish for all my friends
May your talents serve you well
May you often get to use them
May the stories that you tell
To your friends always amuse them
May your health and wealth and wisdom
Go on and on and on
May you find yourself in heaven
Before the devil even knows you're gone
May your nights be filled with romance
May your days be full of laughter
May you always get that one more chance
And a couple more thereafter
May you always be a dreamer
With a star to wish upon
May you find yourself in heaven
Before the devil even knows you're gone
May you always quench your thirst
May you never ever hunger
May your lover always put you first
May each birthday find you younger
May you always have a home
With a love that's yours alone
May you find yourself in heaven
I hope you roll yourself a seven
Follow that one with eleven
I know you'll find yourself in heaven
Before the devil even knows you're gone
