You Could Be

Thirty candles, thirty years Some hard miles, some good tears And somewhere along the way You became the man you are today Never loud, never chasing gold Just the kind of heart that holds When life gets heavy, love stays strong That’s been you, all along [Chorus] And I don’t think you always see What you’ve become so naturally But the people around you do You’re the man that we always knew You could be I’ve watched the way you love my girl Like she’s the centre of your world No grand lines, no big display Just real love, each and every day [Chorus] And I don’t think you always see What you’ve become so naturally But the people around you do You’re the man that we always knew You could be [Bridge] So here’s to the man you’ve grown into And all the roads that carried you May the next years rise and shine As good as the heart behind your eyes You’ve got that kind of steady soul That makes a family feel like home And that means more as the years roll on Thirty strong [Chorus] And I don’t think you always see What you’ve become so naturally But the people around you do You’re the man that we always knew You could be [Outro] You’re the man that we always knew You could be You could be You could be You could be [for AP]
