Album Notes

Finally! Two beautiful versions of The NEW Birthday Song (with words and music you won't be embarrassed to sing) as performed at THE WHITE HOUSE by The Local Girls in 3-part harmony "that is so good it can make you cry for joy."

On this CD are two cuts of The NEW Birthday Song ("Your Trip Around the Sun.")

The FIRST CUT is the short, upbeat version recorded by The Local Girls vocal trio. NOTE: This is the version you'll want to sing around a cake. It's short and easy to learn. Best of all, it has meaningful lyrics and a nice tune.

The SECOND CUT is the slower, longer version and includes the complete lyrics. It's recorded as a beautiful ballad by Gay Dalzell (vocalist) and Bruce Dalzell (on guitar.)

Buy a copy for yourself and MORE copies to send as gifts. It's nice to have extra copies on hand for those time you accidentally forget someone's birthday and don't have time to run out to find a gift. Plus, they're easy and cheap to mail along with most cards.

FULL LYRICS (as heard in the ballad):

Here's wishing you the happiest of birthdays;
Here's wishing you a rewarding year of fun;
Here's wishing you good health and wealth and always...
Joy and love and laughter on your trip around the sun.

Now turn your wishes into plans to make your dreams come true.
Help make the world a better place with every thing you do.
Just lend your hand to help someone
And share your smile with anyone
And find kind words for everyone
Then make your dreams come true. So...

Here's wishing you the happiest of birthdays;
Here's wishing you a rewarding year of fun;
Here's wishing you good health and wealth and always...
Joy and love and laughter on your trip around the sun.
