Happy birthday, happy birthday, baby
Oh, I love you so
Sixteen candles make a lovely light
But not as bright as your eyes tonight
Blow out the candles, make your wish come true
For I'll be wishing that you love me, too
You're only sixteen
But you're my teenage queen
You're the prettiest, loveliest girl I've ever seen
Sixteen candles in my heart will glow
For ever and ever for I love you so
Oh, I love you so
Sixteen candles make a lovely light
But not as bright as your eyes tonight
Blow out the candles, make your wish come true
For I'll be wishing that you love me, too
You're only sixteen
But you're my teenage queen
You're the prettiest, loveliest girl I've ever seen
Sixteen candles in my heart will glow
For ever and ever for I love you so
My Mariah turned 16 years old.
My life forever changed on August 20, 1995. I will also say it was the most painful day of my life. Natural labor. On accident.
I remember distinctly her being placed in my arms and knowing life has forever changed, but I didn’t really understand how much so at that point in my life.
I also didn’t know unconditional love until I held it.
Fast forward …
My beautiful baby girl is now 16 years old.
Even though she celebrated 16 wonderful years with a fabulous luau … a 16th birthday isn’t complete without 16 Candles by the Crests being played. Make a wish baby girl!
Sixteen candles in my heart will glow
For ever and ever for I love you so
For ever and ever for I love you so
Happy birthday, sweetheart!
