Happy Birthday sweet sixteen.
  
#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. 
  
#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. 
  
CHORUS:
                      
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....
  
#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.
                    ....... (Change key)
Happy birthday sweet sixteen. 
  
REPEAT#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.
