(Smooth, soulful R&B intro, reminiscent of Boys II Men's "A Song for Mama")
(Verse 1)
Another year has come and gone, and I'm still standin' strong
'Cause of the woman who held my hand, and taught me right from wrong
Adele, that's your name, a single word that means the world to me
The birthday candles on your cake are shining for all to see
All the love and light you gave, a legacy so pure and true
So toDAY, we celebrate the amazing woman that is you
(Chorus)
Oh, Mama Adele, it's your birthday tonight
Another year of your beautiful, brilliant light
We're here to sing our praises, to let you know we care
For all the love and lessons that you've been willing to share
Happy birthday, Mama, you're the melody in our hearts
A work of art, a masterpiece, a brand new start
(Verse 2)
I remember all the sacrifices, the sleepless nights you've known
Every time I needed comfort, you were never far from home
You showed me strength and perseverance, a faith that's always deep
The promises you made to me were always ones you'd keep
So as we gather 'round this table, and watch you make a wish
Know that my gratitude is sealed with every hug and kiss
(Chorus)
Oh, Mama Adele, it's your birthday tonight
Another year of your beautiful, brilliant light
We're here to sing our praises, to let you know we care
For all the love and lessons that you've been willing to share
Happy birthday, Mama, you're the melody in our hearts
A work of art, a masterpiece, a brand new start
(Bridge)
From your gentle touch to your loving embrace
There's no one else in this whole world who could ever take your place
You're a guiding star, my anchor, my everything and more
And with every passing birthday, I love you more than ever before
(Outro)
Happy Birthday, Mama... Adele...
(Harmonies fade out with the words "Happy Birthday, Mama, Happy Birthday...")
