"I Celebrate the Day"© (You Were Born) [Birthday Song]   The best birthday gift is love for one another. This inspired my song, I Celebrate the Day. I sing it as my gift to you. I wish you joy-filled times. I pray that you consider the wonder of each new year. ––Cheryl Farrell   VERSE On the day that you were born, not so long ago The world became a better place with promise, joy, and hope   So many days will come and go, we hardly feel the time But once a year we stop to sing a favorite birthday rhyme   My gift to you is love and cheer to lift your heart today Share the joy of happiness to all who come your way   CHORUS Happy to know you You know that I love you I celebrate the day that you were born     "I Celebrate the Day" © (2004) Music & lyrics Cheryl Farrell c/o Bay Heart Music Recording Engineer: Per Kjeller     Photography courtesy of Microsoft Office Clip Art.
