Vaughn Bekker - 70 Candles

Here we stand before our oma, who 70 years today
That you have the best birthday, this to God we pray
70 candles so many to blow, by you our precious gran
We thought you might need some help, so we brought along the fan

Of all the gifts you`ve given us, the best of all is love
We think you make the angel`s smile, up in heaven above
Whenever we have visited, you have just spoilt us rotten
So many precious moments, that will never be forgotten

At your house there`s pizza, we get to stay up late
We know when we are back home, there`s veggies on our plate
Shopping for clothes, is the most fun of all
When all of us together, spend the day at the mall

Every night when we go to bed, we pray to heaven above
That God may bless you, and shower you with His love
Now after all we`ve said, there`s only one thing left to do
And that is for us to shout, GRAN WE LOVE YOU! ! !
