At forty you are a little wise
But there are things you wish to do
At forty, you are just right
But you have some dreams true
At forty, you just want to turn
All your dreams into reality
So go and do that my dear
With lots of cheer
Happy 40th birthday to you!

Don't think about the life that went
Think about the days to come
Make a bucket list of your forties
And do things when in turn
Feel delighted at this stage of life
As forty is the new thirty in life
Happy 40th birthday to you!

Maturity and being wise is actually good
You feel that sense of responsibility in life
But don't forget to feel young
And keep that child in your heart alive
Wishing you a happy 40th birthday
For all the good times coming your way
Have a blessed day today!

You have achieved everything in life
You have money, family and peace of mind
Now that you are forty years of age
Don't leave your grace and find answers
You are searching for so long
Happy 40th birthday to you
Know to where you belong!
