D G

[verse 1]
   D
We celebrate your birthday with pictures from your past
   D
Of you living your younger years as if they were your last
   G
And don't you look different, so much has changed
   D                                 A                    D
But underneath it all I'd like to think you're still the same

[verse 2]
   D
And I wanna sing your praises, raise a toast
   D
But as you're blowing out the candles you look like you' ve seen a ghost
               G
And there's no need for you to say it, I can see it in your eyes
   D                       A                  D
You can't believe another year has passed you by


        G             D
Another sunset on the horizon
               A                              D
Liking waking up from a dream that you've forgotten
        G                           D
Another story to be told of how you watched it all unfold
       A                 D
And disappear, another year

[verse 3]
 D
I hold my daughter tightly, I hold her high
 D
She's completely flabbergasted by the neverending sky
        G
And the more she learns about it, the more that she will see
       D                             A       D
The whole world is held together by endless mystery

[verse 4]
D
She's only had one birthday, that day that she was born
D
And it's my responsibility that she sees many more
    G
And that puts things in perspective, it puts everything in place
      D                                             A       D
And I know now more than ever there's not a second left to waste


          G             D
And every sunrise on the horizon
      A               D
Is a cause for a celebration
        G                           D
Another story to be told, another beauty to behold
       A                 D
Hold it dear, another year

          G         A           D          G
Because life passes by in the blink of an eye
       D      A              G
Like winter making way for spring
      D           A              G
The leaves appear on the trees again


          G             D
Another sunset on the horizon
               A                              D
Liking waking up from a dream that you've forgotten
        G                           D
Another story to be told, another beauty to behold
       A                 D
Hold it dear, another year
