HAPPY BIRTHDAY
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
I LOVE YOU SO
SIXTEEN CANDLES
MAKE A LOVELY SIGHT
BUT NOT AS BRIGHT
AS YOUR HAZEL EYES
BLOW OUT THE CANDLES BABY
MAKE A WISH COME TRUE
BLOW OUT THREE WISHES
THAT YOU LOVE ME TOO
(1ST CHORUS)
YOU'RE ONLY SIXTEEN (OH GIRL)
BUT YOU'RE MY TEENAGE QUEEN (SIXTEEN)
BUT YOU'RE THE PRETTIEST AND THE LOVLIEST GIRL
I'VE EVER SEEN (I'VE EVER SEEN)
(2ND CHORUS)
SIXTEEN CANDLES
IN MY HEART WILL GLOW
FOREVER AND EVER
OH, I LOVE YOU SO (I LOVE YOU SO)
(1ST CHORUS)
(2ND CHORUS)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BABY
I LOVE YOU SO, OH, OH, OH, OH
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BABY
I LOVE YOU SO, BABY, BABY, BABY, BABY
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BABY
I LOVE YOU SO

(Luther Dixon and Allyson Khen)
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 |

They're really rockin' in Boston
In Pittsburgh, Pa.
Deep in the heart of Texas
And round the 'Frisco Bay
All over St.Louis
And down in New Orleans
All the cats wanna dance with
Sweet Little Sixteen
Sweet Little Sixteen
She's just got to have
About half a million
Famed autographs
Her wallet filled with pictures
She gets them one by one
Becomes so excited
Watch her, look at her run.
"Oh Mommy, Mommy
Please may I go
It's such a sight to see
Somebody steal the show"
"Oh Daddy, Daddy
I beg of you
Whisper to Mommy
It's alright with you"
*'Cause they'll be rockin' on Bandstand
In Philadelphia, Pa.
Deep in the heart of Texas
And round the 'Frisco Bay
All over St.Louis
Way down in New Orleans
All the cats wanna dance with
Sweet Little Sixteen
(*Repeat)
Sweet Little Sixteen
She's got the grown - up blues
Tight dresses and lipstick
She's sportin' high - heel shoes
Oh but tomorrow morning
She'll have to change her trend
And be sweet sixteen
And back in class again
Well the'll be rockin' in Boston
Pittsburgh, Pa.
Deep in the heart of Texas
And round the 'Frisco Bay
Way out in St.Louis
Way down in New Orleans
All the cats wanna dance with
Sweet Little Sixteen

Or, if you want to go for the sap, "I Hope You Dance" by LeeAnn Womack ought to do the trick. |

ONLY SIXTEEN
Dr Hook
She was only sixteen, only sixteen
But I loved her so
But she was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know
We'd laugh and we'd sing and do funny things
And it made our hearts glow
But she was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know
So why did I give my heart so fast
It never will happen again
But I was a mere child of sixteen
I've aged a year since then
She was only sixteen, only sixteen
Ooh, with eyes that would glow
But she was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know
So why did I give my heart so fast
It never will happen again
But I was a mere child of sixteen
I've aged a year since then
Now she was only sixteen, only sixteen
Ooh, but I loved that girl so
But she was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know
Yes, she was too young to fall in love
And I, I was too young
I was much too young to know |
