Four More Candles Lyrics

In four more years there will be four more candles on my birthday cake

And they'll say "congratulations, you've grown up"

But I'll be thinking "what is up with that?"

'Cause in four more years I've grown

And I'll just be wondering where the time went

And I'll be thinking 'bout my childhood friends

But I'll be stumped when I try to remember half of their names

When forgotten wounds from a deadly place hit me on the head

I'll say "I don't know where they're from", but that'll be pretend

When it's in your brain, it stays

Remember that when you talk to people each and every day

And the people that I think are important now might not be at my party

And there will be new ones, hope they'll stay a little longer

'Cause when there's four more candles on my birthday cake

I won't know where the time went
