Thanks, b.w. for mentioning my song! It's on my CD "Ever Brightening Day" and it's in kind of a swingy bluesy style:

Let's Throw a Party For Ourselves

By Eve Goldberg

Every year or so, no matter where you go
You know that day will arrive
That very special morn, the day that you were born
Ain't it good to be alive

CHO:

So darlin', sing and shout
Blow the candles out
Let's throw a party for ourselves

Well you can fuss and you can fret, you can try to forget
You can let it get into your head
But it's really not so bad, in fact you should be glad
If you weren't getting older, you'd be dead

(Cho)

So I hope you have some fun, on this trip around the sun
And whatever may be your fate
Your friends will stick by you, with a love so deep and true
And that's a thing to celebrate

(Cho)
