Peter Turns Seventy

[Verse 1]
Morning sun on the cake stand
Seventy candles, steady hands
Peter laughing at the room
Friends lean in and light the bloom

Old photos in a paper stack
Young eyes looking way back
Same warm grin, same easy spark
Fills the hall right through the dark

[Pre-Chorus]
Hold up, hold up, feel that rise
Seventy years in your eyes
Every memory, every name
Today we all shout your fame

[Chorus]
Peter is seventy
Peter is seventy
Raise up, let it ring
Peter, you're the king

Peter is seventy
Peter is seventy
Home runs through the air
We’re all right there

[Verse 2]
Hands that fixed a thousand things
Told the truth and gave us wings
Coffee cups and Sunday calls
Big brave heart through it all

Now the candles line the night
Gold and silver, soft and bright
Everyone you’ve ever known
Sings your name and calls you home

[Pre-Chorus]
Hold up, hold up, feel that rise
Seventy years in your eyes
Every memory, every name
Today we all shout your fame

[Chorus]
Peter is seventy
Peter is seventy
Raise up, let it ring
Peter, you're the king

Peter is seventy
Peter is seventy
Home runs through the air
We’re all right there

[Bridge]
[Atmospheric breakdown]
Oh-oh, look what you made
A room full of love, a gold parade
Oh-oh, still in your prime
Seventy looks good this time

[Final Chorus]
Peter is seventy
Peter is seventy
Raise up, let it ring
Peter, you're the king

Peter is seventy
Peter is seventy
Home runs through the air
We’re all right there

Peter is seventy
Peter is seventy
Tonight belongs to you
And all you do
