Happy birthday sweet sixteen



Tonight's the night I've waited for

Because you're not a baby anymore

You've turned into the prettiest girl I've ever seen

Happy birthday sweet sixteen



What happened to that funny face

My little tomboy now wears satin and lace

I can't believe my eyes you're just a teenage dream

Happy birthday sweet sixteen



When you were only six I was your big brother

Then when you were ten We didn't like each other

When you were thirteen You were my funny valentine

But since you've grown up Your future is sewn up

From now on you're gonna be mine, so



If I should smile with sweet surprise

It's just that you've grown up before my very eyes

You've turned into the prettiest girl I've ever seen

Happy birthday sweet sixteen



REPEAT LAST VERSE
