Happy birthday, happy birthday, baby |
|
Oh, I love you so |
|
Sixteen candles make a lovely light |
|
But not as bright as your eyes tonight (as your eyes tonight) (Oh) |
|
Blow out the candles, make your wish come true |
|
For I'll be wishing that you love me, too (that you love me, too) |
|
You're only sixteen (sixteen) |
|
But you're my teenage queen (you're my queen) |
|
You're the prettiest, loveliest girl I've ever seen (I've ever seen) (OH!) |
|
Sixteen candles in my heart will glow |
|
For ever and ever for I love you so (for I love you so) |
|
You're only sixteen (sixteen) |
|
But you're my teenage queen (you're my queen) |
|
Oh, you're the prettiest, loveliest girl I've ever seen (I've ever seen) (OH!) |
|
Sixteen candles in my heart will glow |
|
For ever and ever for I love you so (for I love you so) |
|
For I love you so!!! |
