Kids shoes get a little tighter

So light a candle on your cake

You've known to grow a little more
  C               D
A few more pounds, a little more grey

Don't count the years just count the way
   Am                G             C   
It takes a little time to go from water into wine
      Am            G              C                Dsus4 D
Don't ever lose the wonder of the child within your eyes
