Brass and Sunlight
Style: Acoustic pop

[Verse 1]
You walk the rows at evening
watering can held tight
every leaf turns toward you
like it's chasing light

[Pre-chorus]
You never asked for thanks
just kept the green alive
and now this day arrives

[Chorus]
Happy birthday, Cecil, let it show
Cecil, everything you touch will grow
We're glad you're standing in this life
Cecil, raise a glass tonight

[Verse 2]
The cabbages don't know your name
but they still lean your way
you gave the plain old garden
something more to say

[Chorus]
Happy birthday, Cecil, let it show
Cecil, everything you touch will grow
We're glad you're standing in this life
Cecil, raise a glass tonight

[Bridge]
Late sun on brass, and gold on skin
this is the year you're standing in
however far you've come, however far you'll go

[Chorus]
Happy birthday, Cecil, let it show
Cecil, everything you touch will grow
We're glad you're standing in this life
Cecil, raise a glass tonight

[Outro]
The can still catches sunlight
and so, Cecil, do you
