Loudon Wainwright Iii - The Birthday Present II lyrics

You got another one coming up Baby don't be blue I know you're one year older now Honey I've been there too Time flies when we're fooling around We're just wasting away You're dreading the date You'd much rather wait But happy birthday Once we were young and foolish Just starting out on that ride I don't want to get ghoulish But it seems like time's no longer on our side It never used to get here It always seemed so far away But now it's here Same time each year That happy birthday They say that we live many lives I can believe it but I'm still not so sure I don't know if it's gonna be a next time But this time I'd like a little more Time that is I'm gonna give you a present That's just what I'm gonna do To remind you to forget the past and the future All that regret and worry's just bad for you And when you unwrap your present Throw the paper and the ribbon away Remember dear It's now we're here So happy birthday You got another one coming up Baby don't be blue
