[Tom]
Today at tech where life´s a zoo
What irony, I missed my cue
Your birthday almost came and went
No wonder you were malcontent
And so tonight to right the wrong
I´ve written you a birthday song
But I ain´t gonna wing it
Look who I got to sing it

[Liza]
May each evening be a triumph
Where the planets are aligined
With you, the star that hits the sky and climbs
And when you´re waking in the morning
Well, dear friend, I hope you find
A love letter from The Times

Then, an afternoon of roses
Like the at home section brings
Just past the metro section and its crimes
They´re yellin´ on the sports page
But the arts and leisure sings to you
A love letter from The Times

A full page ad that´s full of quotes
About your face, your style, those notes
Superlatives about your gifts prolific
The raves from me would never end
About the girl who´s my best friend
She´s wonderful, she´s special, she´s terrific

So that´s the gift I wish for you
And hope I can achieve
And someday when we both run out of rhymes
I don´t care about my notes
But I know that you´ll receive
A love letter from The Times

[Tom]
You´re older and I´m wiser
Ivy, look, I brought you Liza!

[Liza]
With a love letter from The Times
