Happy Birthday Dad: Workbench Memories

Lyrics

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

[Verse 1]
The years have etched their story on your face, a gentle map
And every line a memory, caught in time's soft trap
Another candle burning bright, a reason to recall
The quiet strength that built our lives, standing strong through all
I see you by that old workbench, where sawdust used to fall
And every scrape and every dent, tells a story standing tall

[Chorus]
Happy Birthday, Dad, to the man with weathered hands
Who taught us more than words could say, across these country lands
From splinters deep and lessons learned, beneath the workshop light
You built a legacy of love, shining ever so bright

[Verse 2]
I remember standing by your side, a young boy, small and keen
Watching hands that knew their craft, on every tool they'd lean
A broken toy, a mended fence, no task too great or small
Your patience was a gentle hum, answering every call
That old vise held steady dreams, your spirit, strong and true
A quiet wisdom in your gaze, always seeing us through

[Chorus]
Happy Birthday, Dad, to the man with weathered hands
Who taught us more than words could say, across these country lands
From splinters deep and lessons learned, beneath the workshop light
You built a legacy of love, shining ever so bright

[Bridge]
The wood may warp, the metal rust, and time keeps rolling on
But the values that you hammered in, will never be outdone
Your presence is a comfort deep, a shelter from the rain
And every year we celebrate, we feel that love again

[Chorus]
Happy Birthday, Dad, to the man with weathered hands
Who taught us more than words could say, across these country lands
From splinters deep and lessons learned, beneath the workshop light
You built a legacy of love, shining ever so bright

[Outro]
So raise a glass, a country cheer, for all that you have done
Happy Birthday, Dad, our dear old man, beneath the setting sun.
Your weathered hands, your steadfast heart, forever in our song.
Happy Birthday, Dad, where you belong.
