Capo 2 
GDon'Dt worry about that extra line
That's Emcreeping up upon your face
It's Gjust Da part of nature's way
To Emsay you've grown a little Dmore
GTrees Dhave rings and thicker branches
EmKids shoes get a little tighter
Every CyeGar we're getting closer to GwCho we're gonna be
It's CtiGme to celebrate the CstoDry of how you've come to be
Happy Gbirthday my friendD  
Here's to Call the years we've shared together
GAll the fun we've had
You're such a Cblessing
Such a GjoEMy in my life
May the Cgood Lord bless you
And may Dall your dreams come trueG  
GSo light a candle on your cake
For Emevery smile you've helped create
For Gevery heart and every soul
You've Emknown to grow a little Dmore
A Gfew more pounds, a little more grey
Don't Emcount the years just count the way
It Gtakes a little time to go from Bmwater into wine
Don't Gever lose the wonder of the Bmchild within your Deyes
Happy Gbirthday my friendD  
Here's to Bmall the years we've shared together
EmAll the fun we've Dhad
You're such a Gblessing
Such a D7joy in my life
May the Ggood Lord bless you
