23 (The birthday song)
Happy birthday
Twenty-three just might be
The age when you begin to see
Everything that's good in life
And don't worry; you're still alive
You know you will be for quite a while
Brothers and sisters
Mothers and fathers
Thank you for being beside me
May we stay as close for years to come
Happy birthday
Twenty-three you know you'll be
Older than you was before
And wiser than you'll ever know
You've seen sunshine, rain and snow
Seen lovers leave and loved ones go
Leaving you confused and sad
Still burning with the love you had
Life is cruel, the world's gone mad
But you'll never be alone
Happy birthday
Twenty-three, I hope you'll see
It has not been all that bad
And even though she broke your heart
Your family will never part
Even with the miles apart
The love you have will never die
It binds you all through space and time
Leaves you with an inner smile
And for my present, I hope you're all safe tonight
