Song – Whole Year Older

When you count the candles on your cake
Find one more there than just last year
Seems to me you’ve traveled pretty far
When you count up all the things you’ve done
And all the things you’ve learned to do
Do you feel a whole year older
‘Cause to tell the truth you are

Can you tie your shoes all by yourself
Can you button up your buttons too
Do you buckle up your seatbelt in the car
Stop and think of all the ways you’ve grown
Since just a year ago today
Do you feel a whole year older
‘Cause to tell the truth you are

You think you haven’t grown enough
You say you haven’t learned to dance
Wait another year and you will
Get another chance

When you count the candles on your cake
Find one more there than just last year
Seems to me you’ve traveled pretty far
When you count up all the things you’ve done
And all the things you’ve learned to do
Do you feel a whole year older
Well to tell the truth you are
