lyrics

Birthday Boy

A year ago today the 24th of May
Tiny newborn fingers playing air guitar
It’s been a crazy year let us disregard the tears
We’re thankful you are who you are

You have many names and we call you James
And sometimes baby bear
And you seem to know that we’ll help you grow
But most of all we’re going to teach you how to care

Your first year came and went the time was well spent
You cried a little laughed a lot and so did we
Now work your way to two we’ll all be there with you
And then we’ll watch you get to three

You have many names and we call you James
And sometimes baby bear
And you seem to know that we’ll help you grow
But most of all we’re going to teach you how to care

solo

You have many names and we call you James
And sometimes baby bear
And you seem to know that we’ll help you grow
And we’ll teach you how to care

If you grow up fast make the memories last
You will know we all were there
To protect and guide help you hit your stride
And understand the lessons that we all have shared

It’s been a year today
The 24th of May
Happy birthday, birthday boy
