it’s already a big number
my Samantha becomes seventeen
I wish you a happy birthday
my little dancing queen
we might not see each other for a while
but that’s something you’ll soon learn
that I might go away
but that I’ll always return
and I made this poem for you as a birthday present
so you can keep it, and read it every day
because if I’m in Gent at that moment
at least I’ll be there with you in some way
so when you blow out the candles
think of me for a moment, I won’t be too far
and once again I wish you a happy birthday
and off course, three kisses to my future star
