Lyrics
Today is my birthday, and it's the first day of the rest of my life
And I'm gonna live like it's my last day
Yet I'm gonna live like I'm gonna live forever
Yesterday is history and tomorrow may never be
That's why every day is my birthday, and it's the first day of the rest of my life
Every day is my birthday, and it's the first day of the rest of my life
And I'm gonna live like it's my last day
Yet, I'm gonna live like I'm gonna live forever
You see, yesterday is history and tomorrow may never be
That's why every day is my birthday, and it's the first day of the rest of my life
No need to worry about what might have been
And I can't control what tomorrow may bring
No need to worry about what happened in the past
And I can't control even the weather forecast
That's why every day is my birthday, and it's the first day of the rest of my life
And I'm gonna live like it's my last day
Yet I'm gonna live like I'm gonna live forever
You see, yesterday is history and tomorrow may never be
That's why every day is my birthday, and it's the first day of the rest of my life
No need to worry about what might have been
And I can't control what tomorrow may bring
Even God won't change what has happened in the past
You and I can't change even tomorrow's weather forecast
That's why every day is my birthday, and it's the first day of the rest of my life
And I'm gonna live like it's my last day
Yet I'm gonna live like I'm gonna live forever
You see, yesterday is history and tomorrow may never be
That's why every day is my birthday, and it's the first day of the rest of my life
Every day is my birthday
And the first day of the rest of my life
Happy birthday to me
