(hummm, mmm)
I wanted to write a beautiful song for your birthday,
my dear
To tell you exactly how I’ve felt through every passing year
But my rhyming dictionary broke,
and my brain is feeling flat
I’m borrowing a phrase from France because it sounds more elegant than
that:
Je t'aime.
Je t'aime, je t'aime,
je t'aime, Robin,
Je t'aime, je t'aime,
all day!
Je t'aime, je t'aime,
je t'aime, Robin,
That’s pretty much
all I can say!
I love you when you're happy,
and I love you when you're tense
I love you when you're speaking words that make absolutely no sense
I could praise your beautiful eyes,
or how you brighten up the room
But instead, I’ll just repeat this line to save myself some gloom:
Je t'aime. Je t'aime.
Je t'aime.
Je t'aime, je t'aime,
je t'aime, Robin,
Je t'aime, je t'aime,
all day!
Je t'aime, je t'aime,
je t'aime, Robin,
That’s pretty much all I can say!
Robin...
Je t'aime when you steal the covers.
Je t'aime when you leave your coffee mugs in every room of
the house.
Do I know any other French words?
Croissant?
Baguette?
Rousse?
It doesn’t matter.
Because mostly...
Je t'aime
the most.
Je t'aime! Je t'aime!
Je t'aime, Robin!
Je t'aime, je t'aime,
always!
Je t'aime! Je t'aime!
Je t'aime, Robin!
(High note)
JE T'AIIIIIIME!
Je t'aime.
Seriously,
I really do. Happy Birthday,
Robin! (whispering)
Je t'aime.
