Verse 1

Lena, the candles are waiting in a crooked line

Your friends are spilling laughter out into the night

You walk in smiling and the whole room turns

Even the old piano seems to catch and burn

Pre-Chorus

So raise your glass, come closer now

This is your night, we’re singing loud

Chorus

Happy birthday, Lena, beautiful beyond compare

May every road be kind to you, may joy find you everywhere

Happy birthday, Lena, let the whole room sing

You make the ordinary feel like everything

Verse 2

A paper crown sits sideways, someone’s keeping time

The cake is leaning dangerously, but the candles shine

You laugh and pull us into one more turning dance
