[Instrumental]
[Intro]
Remember me
when the days were simple, and free
Blessed and clear when nobody ker
Back in time, before the worries, before the light before the fear in the darkness Deep inside
It's a birthday wish, a spark, a little glow
Here's to the moments only we could know
We should never hide
[Verse 1]
Back in the days
Days you knew when I was just a kid
Laughing through the chaos, wit fun baseball mits you hit one over the fence
Before the world got heavy, before the weight
Before I learned to hide or learned to fake death
When you were a kid [Instrumental]
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, those times we kissed
We barely and we knew we’d miss you
Running through the years that slipped like this
From Vegas trips to quiet nights with mum
To all the stories that have made us numb
We always have us
[Chorus]
It’s your day, so shine and celebrate
Hand in hand, we find our way again
From the past to now, with love so true
Happy birthday, here’s to you Emmanuel
[Bridge]
Memories fade but some stay remain the same as a nomad silence maybe darkness again tonight it rains on your birthday again
Like whispers in the pouring
rain we share feeling deep within
Laughing, crying, growing through the years
Birthday vibes making me sigh around friends who cry, here's Cheers to the joy, the hopes, the tears and our dreams are free
[Instrumental]
[Outro]
So here's to all the moments in between
The victories, the in-betweens
Happy birthday, may your dreams come true
From the past to now, I believe in you
Just you and me Back in the days
Days you knew when I was just a kid
Laughing through the chaos, wit fun baseball mits you hit one over the fence
Before the world got heavy, before the weight
Before I learned to hide or learned to fake death
When you were a kid [Instrumental]
[Instrumental]
Oh, those times
we kissed
We barely and we knew
we’d miss you
Running through
the years that slipped like this
From Vegas trips to quiet
nights with mum
To all the stories that have
made us numb
We always have us
It’s your day, so shine and celebrate
Hand in hand, we find our way again
From the past to now, with love so true
Happy birthday, here’s to you Emmanuel
Memories fade but some stay remain the same as a nomad silence maybe darkness again tonight it rains on your birthday again
Like whispers in the pouring
rain we share feeling deep within
Laughing, crying, growing through the years
Birthday vibes making me sigh around friends who cry, here's Cheers to the joy, the hopes, the tears and our dreams are free
