Blowing out the candles on another birthday cake
Old enough to look back and laugh at my mistakes
Young enough to look at the future and like what I see

My best days are ahead of me

Life hasn’t always been a party, but mostly it’s been good
There’s only one or two things that I’d change if I could
I don’t get lost in the past or get stuck in some sad memory, yeah

My best days are ahead of me

Age ain’t nothing but a number
Sometimes I have to wonder what does it really mean
But hey, I’m still putting it together
I keep getting better
If I keep getting better, I can be whatever I want to be

My best days are ahead of me

Age ain’t nothing but a number
Sometimes I have to wonder what does it really mean
Hey, I’m still putting it together
I keep getting better
If I keep getting better, I can be whatever I want to be

My best days are ahead of me

I got sunsets to witness, dreams to dance with
Beaches to walk on, and lovers to kiss
There’s a whole lot of world out there that I can’t wait to see

My best days are ahead of me

My best days are ahead of me
