Happy Birthday DB September 8 2025

Verse 1

Sixty years ago, the story began,

Morning for me, afternoon for him.

At the stoplight, face to face,

That’s where friendship found its place.

Dennis saw I didn’t care to read,

He shared the tales that planted the seed.

Do you remember?

I do!

Verse 2

Shelves of books and records in his bedroom,

Every page and song could light the room.

On stage together in plays each year,

Music and laughter in all that we’d do.

Do you remember?

I do!

Chorus

Happy birthday, Dennis — sing it loud, sing it strong,

Sixty-nine candles shining,

sixty years of song.

Books and music, laughter, love — the story carries on,

My brother, my forever friend, together we belong.

Those were the days

My friend

Verse 3

Downhill skis on the mountain side,

Snowboards carving a fearless ride.

Summers brought water, the waves, the speed,

Sports in each season met his need.

Hang gliding high, the winds set free —

Dennis, the adventurer I always admired and always will!

Mmmmmmmmmm

It was sixty years ago, time passes, not so slow

Meeting a lifelong friend

at the stoplight we both know

Through every season, every year, the memories grow

A bond at the stoplight, a friendship that never ends.

Happy birthday, Dennis —

From heart and soul!

Mmmmmmmm
