[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
[bridge]
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
