Happy Birthday Wolfgang.

Goldfinch60



Such a short life he had,

He only reached thirty-five years

But he changed the face of music

In those few years.

He is looked upon as the greatest,

The greatest composer of all,

Certainly to my mind he is.

On this day he was born,

Born two hundred and seventy years ago.

I have listened to his music,

Listened to it all my long life

So on this day I say

Many Happy Returns Wolfgang

As you sit in Heaven

Playing your music to us all.
