Twenty Three

[Verse One]

Twenty-three

Make a wish, blow out the candles, but I still see

There's an empty chair where you're supposed to be-

Next to me

[Verse Two]

Twenty-three

They say I got my whole life in front of me

But ever since you left, it's harder to believe

And these tears are teaching me

[Chours]

That time ain't no friend

All it ever does is end

How was I supposed to know it'd be so soon?

Oh, but you sure made it count

Boy, you ran that road right out

Made the most of every second God gave you

And I'll be lucky to live half the life with the time that He gives me

Than all the years you fit in only twenty-three

[Verse Three]

You were blowing out your candles just like me

You had that "I'm gonna live forever" kinda free

But why up there and not with me

[Chours]

Time ain't no friend

All it ever does is end

How was I supposed to know it'd be so soon

Oh, but you sure made it count

Boy, you ran that road right out

Made the most of every second God gave you

And I'll be lucky to live half the life with the time that He gives me

Than all the years you fit in only twenty-three

[Outro]

Twenty-three

Here's to one more trip around the sun for me

I know you and God are looking down on me

I'll make you proud of me

In my twenty-three
