[Verse 1: Conway Twitty, spoken] Hello, darlin', happy birthday I've decided not to give you a present this year In fact I think it's about time I took some things away [Verse 2: Conway, spoken] I'd like to take away the suspicion That I know clouds your world at times By giving you some faith to hold onto honey Whenever your hand is not in mine [Chorus: Conway, sung] Happy birthday darlin' I've no presents, no fancy cake But I hope I'll make you happy With everything I take [Verse 3: Conway, spoken] I'd like to take away some of your lonely moments By spending more of mine with you And I'd like to take away some of those so-so kisses And replace them with ones that really say "I love you" [Verse 4: Conway, spoken] And I wanna take away the doubt you sometimes have about my love By showing more...much more that I've shown lately And then if someone should ask you what I've got you for your birthday Well you can say, "Why he didn't give me anything but he sure took a lotta things away" [Chorus: Conway, sung] Happy birthday darlin' I've no presents, no fancy cake But I hope I'll make you happy With everything I take Happy birthday darlin' I've no presents, no fancy cake But I hope I'll make you happy With everything I take [Tag: Conway, spoken] Happy birthday darlin'
