[Jimmy:]

Hear 'em singing happy birthday

Better think about the wish I make

This year gone by

Ain't been a piece of cake.

[Martina:]

Every day's a revolution

Pull it together and it comes undone

Just one more candle and a trip around the sun.

[Jimmy and Martina:]

I'm just hanging on while this old world keeps spinning

And it's good to know it's out of my control.

If there's one thing that I've learned from all this living

Is that it wouldn't change a thing if I let go.

[Martina:]

No you never see it coming,

Always wind up wondering where it went.

[Jimmy:]

Only time will tell

If it was time well spent.

It's another revelation,

[Martina:]

Celebrating what I should have done

With these souvenirs of my trip around the sun.

[Martina and Jimmy:]

I'm just hanging on while this old world keeps spinning

And it's good to know it's out of my control.

If there's one thing I have learned from all this living

Is that it wouldn't change a thing if I let go.

[Bridge]

[Jimmy:]

Yes I'll make a resolution

[Martina:]

That I'll never make another one.

[Jimmy and Martina:]

Just enjoy this ride on my

Trip around the sun.

Just enjoy this ride

On my trip around the sun...

Trip around the sun.
