Don't worry about that extra line that's creeping up upon your face
It's just a part of nature's way to say you've grown a little more
Trees have rings and thicker branches, kids shoes get a little tighter
Every year we're getting closer to who we're gonna be
It's time to celebrate the story of how you've come to be

Happy birthday, my friend
Here's to all the years we've shared together, all the fun we've had
You're such a blessing, such a joy in my life
May the good Lord bless you and may all your dreams come true

So light a candle on your cake for every smile you've helped create
For every heart and every soul you've helped to grow a little more
A few more pounds, a little more grey, don't count the years, just count the way
It takes a little time to go from water into wine
Don't ever lose the wonder of that child within your eyes

Happy birthday, my friend
Here's to all the years we've shared together, all the fun we've had
You're such a blessing, such a joy in my life
May the good Lord bless you and may all your dreams come true
