Sixteen Candles - Lyrics

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
