When dark clouds are invisible to only me
When love and good is all I see
When anything and everything is A-OK
I’d guess today is a special day
When my phone is ringing off the hook
When there’s a new text each time I look
When I’m recieving hugs every which way
I’d guess today is a special day
When a new bracelet jangles on my hand
When presents are promised and parties are planned
When I drop the work and run and play
I’d guess today is a special day
When I’m smiling for no point at all
When I feel seventeen feet tall
When they ask the reason I finally say
Today is my seventeenth birthday!
When I’ve lived so long yet still not old
When each day’s treasures shine like gold
When I finally appreciate my loaded tray
On my special seventeenth birthday!
When night falls and sleep does come
When left with memories of my day of fun
Then I pray this feeling will always stay
The feeling of my seventeenth birthday!
