Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

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

Hey, I'm still putting it together

I keep getting better, if I keep getting better

I can be whatever I wanna be

My best days are ahead of me


I've 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
