I tried:
Pavlova from Australia
Leivasupp from Estonia
Wuzetka from Poland
Nanaimo bars from Canada
Gulab jamun from Pakistan
Kashata from East Africa
Crema volteada from Peru
And still:
I can’t find anything sweeter than you

For Sirishty (Baar baar din ye aaye! Baar baar dil ye gaaye!)
[Chorus]
Happy Birthday! (Bum-Bum-Yum-Bah-Dum)
Happy Birthday! (Bum-Bum-Yum-Bah-Dum)
This is your day! (Bum-Bum-Yum-Bah-Dum)
This is your day! (Bum-Bum-Yum-Bah-Dum)
Happy Birthday! (Bum-Bum-Yum-Bah-Dum)
Happy Birthday! (Bum-Bum-Yum-Bah-Dum)
Love you always (Bum-Bum-Yum-Bah-Dum)
Love you always (Bum-Bum-Yum-Bah-Dum)
[Verse 1]
The day that you were born
The world was all in pain
But the sky opened up
When it heard your name
The day you walked my way
I felt it right away
I’d treat you like a queen
And you’d forever reign
[Verse 2]
If there’s ever a day
When you’re in too much pain
I hope these words I say
Take your frown away
You know the day you came
I threw my cares away
There’s nothing like your love
It’s like a sacred prayer
It’s like a sacred prayer…
So:
[Chorus]
For Sirishty Thakur
[Verse 1]
Was in a hole when I first met you
There was no sun and there was no truth
I didn’t know that words had pull
But, uh, you made believe in something new
The way you love’s like a postcard view
And, uh, I never want to stray from you
I didn’t know your words had pull
But, uh, you lift me up to the penthouse, boo
[Pre-Chorus]
You’re nothing, you’re nothing
You’re nothing that’s bad
You’re something, you’re something
That I have to have … That I have to have
[Chorus]
You lift me up
You got you wings
You lift me up
You’re angeling
You lift me up
I hear them sing
You lift me up
I’m leveling
You life me up
You spread your wings
You lift me up
You’re angeling
You lift me up
I hear them sing
You lift me up
I’m leveling
[Pre-Chorus]
You’re nothing, you’re nothing
You’re nothing that’s sad
You’re something, you’re something
That I have to have … That I have to have
[Chorus]
I won’t wish you a Happy New Year
Since I wished you a Happy Birthday
And
You never replied
(Perhaps you just forgot it was your day?)
No, I won’t wish you a Happy New Year
But if the world was ending
Only
You know where I’d be
For Sirishty Devi
[Chorus]
I think I’m falling in love
I think I’m falling in love
I think I’m falling in
I think I’m falling in
I keep on following love
I keep on following love
I keep on following
I keep on following
[Verse 1]
It doesn’t matter what they tell us to do
I’m still gonna be with you
It doesn’t matter what they want us to do
I’m still gonna stay with you
It doesn’t matter what they want us to say
I’m not going anywhere
It doesn’t matter what they force us to do
I’m still gonna stand by you
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
I hope they tell us what to do
Cause I’m never gonna stray from you
I hope they tell us what to say
So I can show them that I’ll always stay
[Chorus x2]
I think I’m falling in love
I think I’m falling in love
I think I’m falling in
I think I’m falling in
I keep on following love
I keep on following love
I keep on following
I keep on following … my heart
Through an endless cycle of embrace
I will go beyond all lovers
And spin your world in reverse
Travel back to a time before myths
Reimagine the universe as the shape of our kiss
Slow
Down
The
Earth
Until the core and mantle flake
Whileholdingtheatmospherewithinreach
Atlas held the celestial spheres on his shoulders
Now you hold them on your hips
And spin my world in reverse

[Verse 1]
I never knew that it could feel like this
And I … never knew that love could get this big
You only find this on a movie screen
I think I found it in a real-life scene
You were smarter before we met
And I … was nothing but an idiot
Cause I … didn’t know that love could grow this big
Or that … I could feel like this
[Chorus]
You’re my, sky-sky-sky-line
All the time-ime-ime-ime
And I rise-ise-ise-ise
When I’m by your side-ide-ide-ide
The stars align-ign-ign-ign
When you walk-alk-alk-alk on by
My eyes-eyes-eyes-eyes
All the time-ime-ime-ime-ime
[Verse 2]
I never knew that it could feel like this
So I … never really dreamed of this
But I …. want to hold on to this
For forever’s lifetime
I’ve been smarter since the day we met
And you … still think I’m an idiot
Cause I … see forever within our kiss
I’m doing everything to hold on to it
[Chorus]
[Verse 1]
There’s no one like you in the world, babe
There’s no one like you in the galaxy
There’s no one like you in the universe, babe
There’s no like you in eternity
There’s no one like you in Heaven, babe
There’s no one like you in humanity
[Chorus 1]
That’s why I’m losing my mind
That’s why I’m sharing my heart
That’s why I’m building a home
That’s why I’m never apart
That’s why I’m never apart
[Verse 2]
There’s no one like us in the world, babe
There’s no one like us in the galaxy
There’s no one like us in the universe, babe
There’s no like like us in eternity
There’s no one like us in Heaven, babe
There’s no one like us in humanity
[Chorus 2]
That’s why we’re losing our minds
That’s why we’re sharing our hearts
That’s why we’re building a home
That’s why we’re never apart
That’s why we’re never apart
[Bridge]
There’s nothing like you in the whole world, babe
There’s nothing like you in history
(2x)
That’s why I’m losing my mind
That’s why I’m sharing my heart
That’s why I’m building a home
That’s why we’re never apart
That’s why we’re losing our minds
That’s why we’re sharing hearts
That’s why we’re building a home
That’s why we’re never apart
That’s why we’re never apart
[Verse 1]
They got the key to the city
You’re like a key to the whole world
They got a rocket to the moon, babe
You blast me off to the universe
Lovers will look up at the stars, yeah
I’m only looking at her
Helen’s face launched a thousand ships
I think you’d launch a million or more
They got no cure for heartbreak
That’s cause they never met her
mmm
[Chorus]
(2x)
You’re like the ultimate cure
You’re like the ultimate cure
You’re like the ultimate cure
You’re like the ultimate
[Verse 2]
You’re too easy to love, girl
You know I will never stop
If I could remake you
I wouldn’t even start
Oh my my, the way you ease my mind
It’s so sublime, it’s so divine
Oh my my, the way you ease my mind
Our souls align, it’s so divine
I never say that you’re pretty or smart
Cause those are just mortal words
You deserve something better
You deserve the world
Cause
[Chorus]
(2x)
You’re like the ultimate cure
You’re like the ultimate cure
You’re like the ultimate cure
You’re like the ultimate

I’ve been working on a few novels recently and haven’t been able to focus on posting as much. Also, I haven’t been able to keep up much on my reading; but I’m interested to see what everyone has been posting. Hope to read everyone’s work again soon! Thanks for reading and listening.
[Verse 1]
Shakespeare would’ve written about you
If he had the chance to
Newton would question all the laws
If he saw you up against the stars
Socrates would have so many questions
Buddha would call you perfected perfection
Darwin would rethink evolution
Moses would have another commandment
Galileo would change his mind
Realize the sun revolves around your eyes
[Chorus 1]
Sirishty
Do you know what you would’ve done to da Vinci?
Sirishty
Do you know what you would’ve done to Ghandi?
Sirishty
Do you know what you would’ve done to Genghis Kahn?
Sirishty
Do you know what you do to the gods?
[Verse 2]
Sirishty
If you were from another time
There’d be no water to wine
Sirishty
If you were from another time
There’d be no atomic bomb
Sirishty
If you were from another time
There’d be no Beethoven or Bach
[Chorus 2]
Sirishty
Too bad you can’t travel back
Too bad you can’t travel back
You’d be the most sung about
You’d be the most written about
You’d be the most talked about
You’d be the most
