It's a special day in Heaven
The angels sweetly sing
"Happy Birthday, Anthony"
On the wind, their voices ring.


Heaven's children paint the sky
Here where love was born
"Happy Birthday, Anthony"
In the colors of the morn


The cake holds two candles
They burn with Heaven's light
"Happy Birthday, Anthony"
Reflected in the stars at night


A yellow balloon dances
Heaven's gold upon a string
"Happy Birthday, Anthony"
Sunshine kisses everything.


Below the Heavenly party
A family gathers here
"Happy Birthday, Anthony"
Memory's smiles touched with tears


Though they miss him dearly,
They celebrate with love
"Happy Birthday, Anthony"
He hears them up above


A single tear escapes him
For he so longs to hear
"Happy Birthday, Anthony
In his parents' arms, so dear


Heaven holds the promise
One day together they'll celebrate
"Happy Birthday, Anthony"
Past Heaven's golden gate.
