C                       D
Don't worry about that extra line

That's creeping up upon your face
     C           D

               Am7            Bm
To say you've grown a little more
C                 D
Trees have rings and thicker branches
Em                        Bm
Kids shoes get a little tighter
Am                         G       C
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
          Am               Bm  
Here's to all the years we've shared together

So light a candle on your cake
    Em                     Bm
For every smile you've helped create
    C            D
For every heart and every soul
       Am7                     Bm
You've known to grow a little more
  C               D
A few more pounds, a little more grey
      Em                       Bm
Don't count the years just count the way
   Am                G             C   
It takes a little time to go from water into wine
      Am            G              C                Dsus4 D
Don't ever lose the wonder of the child within your eyes
