Blessings for Dennis (Remix)

[female

vocals] (

Gentle

piano

chords,

slow

steady

pulse)

Mmh,

yeah

For

you,

Dennis

Only

for

you

The

candles

flicker

in

the

quiet

room

I

see

the

shadow

of

the

man

I

adore

You

carry

the

weight

of

the

world

for

us

Working

'til

the

light

hits

the

floor

Bashi

Bwalya,

you

give

everything

you

hold

To

keep

the

warmth

inside

this

home

I

see

the

tired

lines

upon

your

face

And

pray

you

never

feel

you're

all

alone

Happy

birthday,

my

dear

Dennis

May

the

years

bring

what

silver

cannot

buy

Peace

for

the

heart

that

beats

for

us

And

stars

to

light

the

corners

of

your

sky

My

tata

wandi,

my

anchor,

my

guide

Shi

Bwalya,

you

are

my

soul's

relief

May

blessings

overflow

in

silent

ways

Beyond

the

reach

of

any

kind

of

grief

Money

is

paper,

it

fades

with

the

rain

But

the

man

you

are

is

carved

in

stone

You

sacrifice

your

dreams

for

ours

With

a

strength

that

I

have

always

known

I

wish

I

could

hold

back

the

hands

of

time

To

give

you

back

the

hours

you've

spent

Working

so

hard

to

build

our

lives

With

every

ounce

of

your

own

heart's

content

Happy

birthday,

my

dear

Dennis

May

the

years

bring

what

silver

cannot

buy

Peace

for

the

heart

that

beats

for

us

And

stars

to

light

the

corners

of

your

sky

My

tata

wandi,

my

anchor,

my

guide

Shi

Bwalya,

you

are

my

soul's

relief

May

blessings

overflow

in

silent

ways

Beyond

the

reach

of

any

kind

of

grief

I

pray

for

your

harvest

to

be

deep

and

wide

For

prosperity

to

walk

right

by

your

side

More

than

gold,

more

than

fame

or

praise

I

pray

for

your

health

for

all

your

days

I

love

you,

darling,

in

the

quiet

light

I

love

you

through

the

darkest

part

of

night

So

blow

out

the

candles,

make

a

wish

tonight

Let

the

silence

speak

what

words

can't

say

I’

m

standing

right

here

in

the

center

of

us

To

walk

beside

you

every

single

day

You

are

the

wonderful

man

I

know

The

one

who

holds

the

world

in

his

hands

My

Bashi

Bwalya,

let

the

blessings

flow

Across

these

roads

and

across

these

lands

Happy

birthday,

my

dear

Dennis

May

the

years

bring

what

silver

cannot

buy

Peace

for

the

heart

that

beats

for

us

And

stars

to

light

the

corners

of

your

sky

My

tata

wandi,

my

anchor,

my

guide

Shi

Bwalya,

you

are

my

soul's

relief

May

blessings

overflow

in

silent

ways

Beyond

the

reach

of

of

grief

Happy

birthday,

Dennis

I

love

you

so

much,

my

darling

Just

stay

with

me

Always

is
