Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 2]
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
[Chorus]
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 3]
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
[Chorus]
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
