Another Year

We celebrate your birthday with pictures from your past

Of you living your younger years as if they were your last

And don't you look different, so much has changed

But underneath it all I'd like to think you're still the same

And I wanna sing your praises, raise a toast

But as you're blowing out the candles you look like you' ve seen a ghost

And there's no need for you to say it, I can see it in your eyes

You can't believe another year has passed you by

Another sunset on the horizon

Liking waking up from a dream that you've forgotten

Another story to be told of how you watched it all unfold

And disappear, another year

I hold my daughter tightly, I hold her high

She's completely flabbergasted by the neverending sky

And the more she learns about it, the more that she will see

The whole world is held together by endless mystery

She's only had one birthday, that day that she was born

And it's my responsibility that she sees many more

And that puts things in perspective, it puts everything in place

And I know now more than ever there's not a second left to waste

And every sunrise on the horizon

Is a cause for a celebration

Another story to be told, another beauty to behold

Hold it dear, another year

Because life passes by in the blink of an eye

Like winter making way for spring

The leaves appear on the trees again

Another sunset on the horizon

Liking waking up from a dream that you've forgotten

Another story to be told, another beauty to behold

Hold it dear, another year
