"Happy Birthday Darlin'" is a song written by Chuck Howard, and recorded by American country music artist Conway Twitty.
It was released in October 1979 as the third and final single from his album Cross Winds.
[1] The song begins with the spoken lyric "Hello, Darlin'," calling back to Twitty's 1970 hit of the same name that starts in the same way.
The song otherwise tells a narrative through the eyes of a man who vows to right a number of wrongs in his relationship.
In the end, the man confidently says that his wife can tell friends, "He didn’t give me anything but he sure took a lot of things away."
