12 candles on my cake
Red velvet my mom and i bake
Yellow balloons float out of sight
Gone forever in the blink of an eye

12 candles on your cake
Laughing and talking while we bake
Those yellow balloons i tried to hold tight
But like my beautiful girl they gotta take flight

'Cause the sun rises and the sun sets
Cant stop time but I'll do my best
To live my life with no regrets
Cause this little girl all dressed in pink
Is gonna grow up sooner than i think

Seems like only yesterday it was a barbie
And dollhouse and dress up games
And now it's friends and music and studying hard
Watching the world with a worried heart

Seeing you learn and grow
It's gonna be hard to let you go
But the world will change when you sing your
Songs through my tears i'll sing along

'Cause the sun rises the sun sets
Can't stop time but i'll do my best
To live my life with no regrets
Cause this little girl dressed in pink is gonna grow up
Sooner than i think

Close my eyes make a wish
Close my eyes make a wish
For a little more time
A little more time
A little more time
A little more time
Just to be a kid

The sun rises the sun sets
Can't stop time but i'll do my best
To live my life with no regrets
Cause if i turn my head will blink

Im gonna grow
Shes gonna grow up
Sooner than i think
So soon
Too soon
