Level Forty

Uplifting 40th birthday anthem for a best friend

[Verse 1] Remember when we thought that thirty was old? Now we’re looking back at the stories we told From the late-night drives to the secrets we kept Through the joyful tears and the nights we wept We walked this road through the wind and the rain And laughed at the heartache and smiled at the pain [Chorus] Oh, it’s a celebration, forty years young The best of your life has only begun Blow out the candles, make a wish so bright We’re dancing through the decades tonight Yeah, forty is the new sensation Let’s raise a glass to this foundation [Verse 2] You’ve got the wisdom and you’ve got the grace A smile that lights up the whole entire place No slowing down, we’re just hitting our stride With you as my best friend, right by my side Gray hairs are just glitter, lines are just art You’re forever young inside of your heart [Bridge] Four decades of memories, a lifetime of fun Chasing the moon and racing the sun You’re vintage perfection, a classic design Like the very best and most expensive wine [Chorus] Oh, it’s a celebration, forty years young The best of your life has only begun Blow out the candles, make a wish so bright We’re dancing through the decades tonight Yeah, forty is the new sensation Let’s raise a glass to this foundation [Outro] Happy Birthday, my friend, let the music play Here’s to the magic of your special day Forty and fabulous, yes it is true The world is better because of you
