Birthday
Key of C
Everyone was gathered round, young and old
As she walked into the room, sat where she belonged
With her eyes closed tight, the lights went down
And we sang that old birthday song
She opened her eyes I watched that smile come about
And she leaned on over to blow her candles out
Tonight tonight every things alright
Shut out the lights and close your eyes
Take one deep breath and just wish away
For a life and some dreams that won't come today
Growing up was hard, ask anyone they know
What was needed to live, wasn't around so much
You fought and saved your dimes just to buy a loaf
We got you this cake with happy birthday inscribed your turning three
The happiness you showed that day, did it for me
Don't care about the bills, their way over due
All that matters now is that smile and you
Tonight tonight every things alright
Shut out the lights and close your eyes
Take one deep breath and just wish away
For a life and some dreams that won't come today
When the smoke has settled, all the stories are told
When all the goodbyes are spoken, reality grabs hold
At the end of the night when I put them to sleep
I'll wonder what the next day will bring, and if we're in to deep
This one lonely night, lost in a sea of to many
Is when we laughed and loved, but now its all just a memory
Tonight tonight every things alright
Shut out the lights and close your eyes
Take one deep breath and just wish away Out
For a life and some dreams that won't come today
