lyrics

They met I say both about 22
Side-by-side math class, struggling in night school
He could talk all day, she could all night
Two years have passed, and they still cool still tight
She always joked he's absent minded forgets everything
Car keys, appointments, but mostly birthdays
But this year he's buying, something more than a rose
Candles for a cake and a ring to propose

Yeah she seemed a little frustrated cause she hasn't seen her present yet
But this year for her birthday, she's getting something that she'll never forget

Oooooo twenty-four candles and a ring for you
Oooooo twenty-four candles and a ring for you

Everybody showed up for the party he planned
No one knew about, about the ring in his hand
He starts to think things are cool, do I really wanna change
What we have is good enough, maybe I should hide this ring
Finally she stumbled in, a little after a quarter nine
Everyone yelled surprise, and he saw the look in her eyes
There's no backing out, so he pulled the ring, shaky voice and a smile
She said yes and soon the guest were watching as she walked down the aisle

Yeah she seemed a little frustrated cause she hasn't seen her present yet
But this year for her birthday, she's getting something that she'll never forget

Oooooo twenty-four candles and a ring for you
Oooooo twenty-four candles and a ring for you

Oh time has gone by and yes they're still in love, still in love
And the memories of that day never fade, he can still remember her face on that day

Chorus
