Lyrics

Verse 1
Emma, Emma, light the candles high,
another year of that spark in your eye,
the whole room turns when you walk through the door,
like the day was waiting for you, and a little more.
Chorus
Happy birthday, Emma, sing it loud and true,
every candle on the cake is burning just for you,
whole and universal, that's what your name means,
Emma, you're the brightest thing this year has ever seen.
Verse 2
Twenty candles, thirty, whatever the count,
the number's not the thing this song's about,
it's the laugh that starts before the joke is done,
it's the way you make an ordinary evening feel like sun.
Bridge
So blow them out slow, make the wish last long,
a year from now we'll sing you a brand-new song.
Chorus
Happy birthday, Emma, sing it loud and true,
every candle on the cake is burning just for you.
