Here Is To Years To Come

Verse 1:
Every year passes and the world grows dark
And more and more people start to push you around
Life is a long journey on which we all embark
Never knowing where the end will be found.

Chorus:
But you keep on year after year, fair lass
Your life journey has only just begun.
So here is to the years that have past
And here is to the years to come.

Verse 2:
The eyes of a child grow thin and narrow
The world's troubles have forced them closed
Your heart is pierced by maturity's arrow
A stinging pain that which every mortal knows.

Chorus:
But you keep on year after year, fair lass
Your life journey has only just begun
So here is to the years that have past
And here is to the years to come.

Bridge:
Here you stand
Watching as your life unfolds before your eyes
Your friends at hand
Holding on with love that never dies.

Verse 3:
On this day, your day, we wish you all the best
And we'll be there for all the years in store
Over coming obstacles, passing every test
Here is to your birthday, and here's to many more.

Repeat Chorus 2x
