Sixteen Candles (Stacy’s Wish)

Lyrics

Verse 1 Woke up this morning, turning sweet sixteen But the house is a whirlwind, no one sees me Sister’s wedding tomorrow, flowers everywhere Mom and Dad forgot, like I’m not even there Pre-Chorus Invisible girl in the mirror, heart on my sleeve Dreaming of a boy who I hope might see me Chorus Sixteen candles burning bright, but nobody knows my name One wish tonight, under suburban lights Ben, won’t you notice me? Light up my flame Sixteen candles, make this feeling real Turn my ordinary day into something I can feel Verse 2 Hallway glances, he’s walking so tall Ben Ryan’s smile hits me, makes my heart fall Bus ride with the geek, talking way too much Grandpa’s loud jokes and Dong dancing like it’s nuts Pre-Chorus Chaos all around me, underwear on display Party lights spinning, but I just fade away Chorus Sixteen candles burning bright, but nobody knows my name One wish tonight, under suburban lights Ben, won’t you notice me? Light up my flame Sixteen candles, make this feeling real Turn my ordinary day into something I can feel Bridge Then you saw me standing there, alone in the crowd Took my hand through the madness, spoke without a sound No more forgotten girl, no more tears on my face You’re the spark I’ve been waiting for, my birthday escape Final Chorus Sixteen candles finally shine, now everybody knows my name You’re here tonight, under these same lights Ben, you finally noticed me, lit up my flame Sixteen candles, this wish came true Me and you… me and you… Outro Happy birthday, Stacy… Sixteen candles… just me and you
