Ada Mae, you're two today
Guess I'll be gone before you're 20
Happy birthday, Ada Mae
I wrote a song for you
Who can say what's coming at you?
This old world keeps hurtling on
Well, I could try to tell the future
But I'd be wrong most likely
Ada Mae, you have a way
Of changing everyone around you
We love you more each passing day
Your laugh is yours alone
Oh, I do fear my generation has been sleeping
Deep inside a fever dream
We've sown the whirlwind you'll be reaping
And eaten all the cream
ย
Well, you and I are human animals
And kin to everything alive
One day you'll know a million miracles
Helped you arrive here with us
Ada Mae, I hope you find
A tree, a bird, a star, a flower
And a love to keep you strong and kind
When haters try to seize the day
Happy birthday, Ada Mae
Maybe I'll see you turning 20
Can you imagine such a day?
Ada Mae, my love is true
Ada Mae, this song's for you
