Happy Birthday Sweet Sixteen Lyrics

"Happy Birthday Sweet Sixteen"
(Neil Sedaka / Howard Greenfield)
Intro:
Tra la-la-la-la la-la-la-la
Happy birthday sweet sixteen
Tra la-la-la-la la-la-la-la
Happy birthday sweet sixteen
Verse 1:
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
Verse 2:
What happened to that funny face
My little tomboy now wears satins and lace
I can't believe my eyes you're just a teenage dream
Happy birthday sweet sixteen
Bridge:
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
Eb7 (N.C.)
But since you've grown up
Eb7 (N.C.)
Your future is sewn up
From now on you're gonna be mine, so
Verse 3:
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
(key change)
(repeat verse 3, in D)
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
Coda (repeat to fade):
Tra la-la-la-la la-la-la-la
Happy birthday sweet sixteen
