Rune's Adventure

For Rune

Verse 1

Rune behind the wheel with Dire Straits playing loud

Patsy Cline and Shania Twain, music he's so proud

To the forest we would go, chopping wood all day

Loading up the tractor, Rune would lead the way

Chorus

Oh Rune, our father, sixty years today

From Hellesylt summers to the mountains where we'd play

Rune, you taught us laughter, taught us how to be strong

Happy birthday, Rune, this is your celebration song

Verse 2

Salmon fishing every summer, camping by the shore

Long tables full of family, memories to adore

Johan caught you with his hook, right there in your hand

Rune just laughed and carried on, the gentlest of men

Chorus

Oh Rune, our father, sixty years today

From Hellesylt summers to the mountains where we'd play

Rune, you taught us laughter, taught us how to be strong

Happy birthday, Rune, this is your celebration song

Bridge

Nadia at the cross-country races, cheering from the side

Johan at the biathlon, Rune filled with pride

Mountain hikes and jumping stones, like Mr. Bean you'd dance

Dad jokes and your silly ways, you gave us every chance

Final Chorus

Oh Rune, our father, sixty candles burning bright

From Nadia and Johan, with love we sing tonight

Rune, you are our hero, our guide through thick and thin

Happy birthday, dear Rune, let the celebration begin!
