## Lyrics
[verse]
Tonight's the night you've waited for so long
Candles glowing, everybody sings along
You're standing there in your best new dress
And I can hardly hide my happiness

[chorus]
Happy birthday, sweet sixteen
Prettiest girl that I've ever seen
Happy birthday, sweet sixteen
I hope this dance is just what it means

[verse]
The party's loud but all I see is you
Spinning around in the ribbon and the blue
Make a wish and blow the candles out
I hope you know what your smile's about

[chorus]
Happy birthday, sweet sixteen
Prettiest girl that I've ever seen
Happy birthday, sweet sixteen
I hope this dance is just what it means

[bridge]
Sixteen candles on a sweet parade
Sixteen reasons why my heart's afraid
Afraid that someone else might steal you away
So dance with me and make my day

[chorus]
Happy birthday, sweet sixteen
Prettiest girl that I've ever seen
Happy birthday, sweet sixteen
I hope this dance is just what it means
