ROMANO'S twenty fifth birthday

ROMANO, WE'RE SO PROUD OF YOU

An English Country Duet for Romano's 25th Birthday

Music style: Upbeat traditional country, country-sokkie rhythm, acoustic guitar, fiddle, steel guitar, bass and drums. Warm male and female duet vocals.

[Intro – Upbeat country guitar and fiddle]

[Female Voice – Mom]

Today we've got a reason to sing,

Romano, you make our hearts take wing!

Twenty-five years of memories and more,

And our love for you keeps growing evermore.

[Verse 1 – Female Voice]

I still remember the day you arrived,

My heart was so happy, my whole world came alive.

You were smaller than your sister, would you believe?

I held you close and never wanted you to leave.

A cheeky little toddler with a mind of your own,

You filled our house with laughter, you made our hearts your home.

I still miss those days, when you'd both disagree,

Fighting for a place on Mommy's knee!

[Verse 2 – Male Voice]

You could tell a story like nobody else,

You could sell a tale and convince us all yourself!

And Mom believed you, every single time,

Then you'd laugh out loud when you fooled her with your lines.

You and Zianca putting on your shows,

Singing and acting wherever you would go.

You loved the stage, you loved to entertain,

From the very start, you had your own little fame!

[Pre-Chorus – Male and Female Alternating]

[Female Voice]

From oversized clothes to your chains and caps,

[Male Voice]

You had your own style, nobody could match that!

[Together]

You had a little sparkle that the whole world could see,

And every now and then, the old Romano breaks free!

[Chorus – Both Voices, Strong and Catchy]

Romano, Romano, this song is for you!

Twenty-five years, and our love stays true!

Though life has knocked you down along the way,

We believe in you, every single day!

Romano, Romano, let the whole world see,

The beautiful heart that you have inside thee!

We're proud of you, and we'll always stand by,

With the Lord's blessing, there's a bright new sky!

[Instrumental Break – Country guitar, fiddle and lively rhythm]

[Verse 3 – Male Voice]

Life hasn't always treated you fair,

You've faced disappointments and carried your share.

But look at you now, still fighting your way,

With so much potential for a brighter day.

We know who you are, we know what you can be,

There's so much more ahead than your eyes can see.

Don't ever let this world decide your worth,

You've got a good heart, and you matter on this earth.

[Bridge – Female Voice, Soft and Emotional]

May the Lord bless you with joy and peace,

May His love surround you and never cease.

May your dreams come true, one by one,

May brighter days come with the morning sun.

[Male Voice]

And if the world can't see the good in you,

Remember there's a family who always will do.

You'll always have a place, you'll always belong,

Our love will hold you, steady and strong.

[Final Chorus – Both Voices, Full Country Band]

Romano, Romano, this song is for you!

Twenty-five years, and our love stays true!

Though life has knocked you down along the way,

We'll stand beside you, come what may!

Romano, Romano, let the whole world see,

The beautiful heart that you have inside thee!

We're proud of you, and we'll always stand by,

With the Lord's blessing, let your dreams touch the sky!

[Repeat together, with powerful harmonies]

We're proud of you, and we'll always stand by,

With the Lord's blessing, let your dreams touch the sky!

[Outro – Soft acoustic guitar]

[Female Voice]

Happy birthday, my boy, twenty-five years today,

May happiness and sunshine always come your way.

We're so incredibly proud of you, Romano, it's true,

And no matter where life takes you, we'll always love you.

[Male Voice, gently]

Happy birthday, Romano.

[Together, softly]

We love you more than words can say. ❤️
