That day has come once more,
That day he was born
And brought so much joy,
So much joy into my life.
He blows his horn
And the melodious sound
Reaches me in mind and heart.
So many problems in his life,
So full of drugs,
Yet his music never suffered.
His music so important,
So important to me.
So once more as I listen,
Listen to his music,
I wish him Happy Birthday,
Happy Birthday Chet.
