[Verse 1: Peter Cetera]
Birthday boy, blow out the candles
Good friends around you, you should feel OK
Don't look so sad and blue
Don't act forsaken, this day's for you

[Chorus: Peter Cetera]
Good days are coming, my friend
Life can be easy until the end

[Verse 2: Peter Cetera]
Birthday boy, don't fear tomorrow
Changes before you, years drift away
You see life as pictures, frame to frame
Many years wasted, what a shame

[Chorus: Peter Cetera]
Good days are coming, my friend
Life can be easy until the end

[Verse 3: Peter Cetera]
That empty feeling won't go away
Caught up in hurting, day after day
When will you see the joy in your life?
It's there for you, it's there for you
[Outro: Peter Cetera]
Don't look so sad and blue
Don't act forsaken, this day's for you
Good days are coming, once you stop running
Life could be easy, easy for you
