The Birthday Song

C                       D
Don't worry about that extra line
       Em                D
That's creeping up upon your face
     C           D
It's just a part of nature's way
             Em             D
To say you've grown a little more
C                 D
Trees have rings and thicker branches
Em
Kids shoes get a little tighter
Am                                 C
Every year we're getting closer to who we're gonna be
     Am                             C                  D
It's time to celebrate the story of how you've come to be

      G           D
Happy birthday my friend
          Am
Here's to all the years we've shared together
C               D
All the fun we've had
             G
You're such a blessing
       Cm
Such a joy in my life
        Bm        Em
May the good Lord bless you
        Am         D          G
And may all your dreams come true

C       D
So light a candle on your cake
    Em                     D
For every smile you've helped create
    C            D
For every heart and every soul
       Em                     D
You've known to grow a little more
  C               D
A few more pounds, a little more grey
      Em
Don't count the years just count the way
   Am                              C
It takes a little time to go from water into wine
      Am                           C                D
Don't ever lose the wonder of the child within your eyes

      G            D
Happy birthday my friend
          Am
Here's to all the years we've shared together
C                D
All the fun we've had
              G
You're such a blessing
       Cm
Such a joy in my life
        Bm        Em
May the good Lord bless you
        Am         D          G
And may all your dreams come true
