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
