Happy Birthday, my friend

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 times
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 help create
For every heart and every soul
You've help to grow a little more
A few more pounds, a little more greys
Don't count the years, just count the ways
It takes a little time to go
From water into wine
Don't ever lose the wonder
Of the child within your eyes

Happy Birthday, my friend
Here's to all the times
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
