Here I'm singin' happy birthday Better think about the about the wish I make This year gone by ain't been a piece of cake Everyday's a revolution Pull it together and it comes undone Just one more candle and a trip around the sun I'm just hangin' on while this old world keeps spinning And it's good to know it's out of my control If there's one thing that I've learned from all this livin' Is that it wouldn't change a thing if I let go No you never see it comin' Always wind up wonderin' where it went Only time will tell if it was time well spent It's another revelation Celebrating what I should have done With these souvenirs of my trip around the sun I'm just hangin' on while this old world keeps spinning And it's good to know it's out of my control If there's one thing that I've learned from all this livin' Is that it wouldn't change a thing if I let go Yes I'll make a resolution That I'll never make another one Just enjoy this ride on my trip around the sun Just enjoy this ride
