Birthday on the Run

Birthday On the Run

Words and Music by Marilyn Duncan
Published by Soona Songs, Inc. (ASCAP)

A narrow escape, a wake-up call,
How many miles before the fall?
But here you are, it’s time to celebrate.

Another year has passed behind
It left some marks of a permanent kind
But you’re here baby, it’s time to celebrate.

You know that no one has the promise of tomorrow
Life can often be a path of tears and sorrow.

We’ll sing a song, cut a cake
Drink until our glasses break.
Because you’re here we’re going to have some fun
And keep that old man birthday on the run.
