Verse:
I’m not going to lie and say you that you look half your age
And I hope that you don’t take this the wrong way
I love every little line that’s on your face
And the way you carry yourself with dignity and grace

Sometime the words I mean aren’t the words I say
I’m just trying to wish you a happy birthday
For a second there I thought I might have read you wrong
You said I know you love me now but for how long

---

Chorus:
Until all the politicians get their hands out of the till
And Sysiphus gets his rock over that hill
You know I always have and always will
Love you

---

Verse:
You say the children are the cause of all the gray
But I know that I shoulder most the blame
For a house too full of guitars and a fruitless quest for fame
And the empty space in that California king

---

Chorus:
Until all the politicians get their hands out of the till
And Sysiphus gets his rock over that hill
You know I always have and always will
Love you

---

Bridge:
When the stars all fade in to that endless night
I will hope and pray on the last sattalite
That we made it though and that you love me still
Because I will

---

Chorus:
Until all the politicians get their hands out of the till
And Sysiphus gets his rock up that damn hill
You know I always have and I swear I always will
Love you
