One Hundred Candles On My Cake

One hundred candles on my cake One hundred wrinkles on my face  One hundred years I've been awake As I look upon this blaze  Of one hundred candles on my cake I think to myself of all my days I've learned so much from past mistakes   My eyes have seen such joy and rage Such love and hate I contemplate all I've known in all my days.  One hundred lessons per candle on my cake. I have rested, and how I've played!  I've stood in shadows And been center stage Looking back I smile at all my days That brought me to this golden age With the heat of the roaring blaze Of one hundred candles on my cake  Against the hundred wrinkles on my face Celebrating the hundred years ive been awake With no regrets of the life I've made I know the beauty of a turning page I close my eyes, and face the flame And blow out one hundred candles on my cake!
