[Verse 1]
I still remember way back when,
The Lord brought you into my life,
A young man with a heart full of dreams,
And you became my wife.
Since nineteen fifty-nine we've walked,
Through sunshine and through rain,
And if I had my life to live,
I'd choose you once again.
[Chorus]
Happy Birthday, Betty Jo, my love,
You're my blessing from above.
You're the sweetheart of my younger days,
And the one I'll always love.
Through every season, every year,
You're still my dream come true.
Happy Birthday, darling Betty Jo,
My heart belongs to you.
[Verse 2]
That old two-tone Oldsmobile,
Yellow and green, so fine,
Could never take us far enough
To measure love like mine.
We've shared our hopes and whispered prayers,
And watched the years go by,
But I still see that pretty girl
When I look into your eyes.
[Chorus]
Happy Birthday, Betty Jo, my love,
You're my blessing from above.
You're the sweetheart of my younger days,
And the one I'll always love.
Through every season, every year,
You're still my dream come true.
Happy Birthday, darling Betty Jo,
My heart belongs to you.
[Bridge]
God gave me more than I deserved,
The day He gave me you.
He's held our hands through all these years,
And kept our love so true.
And when we kneel together, dear,
There's one thing that I pray:
Lord, let me love my Betty Jo
More than I did yesterday.
[Final Verse]
The candles may be glowing more,
But one thing stays the same,
My heart still skips a little beat
Whenever I hear your name.
And when the Lord calls us someday
To Heaven's golden shore,
I'll thank Him for the gift of you,
My sweetheart evermore.
[Final Chorus]
Happy Birthday, Betty Jo, my love,
You're my blessing from above.
After all these precious years together,
You're still the one I love.
And if the whole world heard me sing,
I'd tell them loud and true:
The greatest earthly gift God gave
Was sharing life with you.
[Soft Spoken Ending – Bob]
Happy Birthday, Betty Jo.
After all these years, you're still my sweetheart.
I loved you then, I love you now,
And I'll love you all my life.
