Smudged on Glass
Style: Barbershop

[Verse 1]
A frame beside the door
held by hands before
your fingerprints still there
pressed in with such care

[Pre-chorus]
Every mark that you have made
every year that never fades
builds to what we came to say

[Chorus]
Kenneth, light the candles now
Kenneth, take your bow
every year has made you shine
happy birthday, Kenneth, it's your time

[Verse 2]
That glass has gone all grey
smudged from every day
but under all that haze
we see you, full of grace

[Chorus]
Kenneth, light the candles now
Kenneth, take your bow
every year has made you shine
happy birthday, Kenneth, it's your time

[Bridge]
We could wipe the glass clean
but we'd lose what your years have seen
so we leave the smudges be
proof of all you mean to we

[Chorus]
Kenneth, light the candles now
Kenneth, take your bow
every year has made you shine
happy birthday, Kenneth, it's your time

[Outro]
That frame will hold you still
long after this candle's spilled
