Sixteen Candles (Noticing You)

Lyrics

Verse 1 Senior year hallway, another crowded day Spotted this girl Stacy, she keeps looking my way Quiet and real, not like the noise around While Caroline’s chasing parties, I’m starting to drown Pre-Chorus Something in her eyes cuts through the teenage haze Makes me wonder why I never noticed her before today Chorus Sixteen candles, I didn’t even know But now I see you shining, stealing the show Stacy, you’re the spark in this suburban night One look from you and everything feels right Sixteen candles, lighting up my view Girl, I’m noticing you… I’m noticing you Verse 2 Heard about the birthday that nobody remembered Family chaos, wedding bells, and that wild exchange kid Saw you at the party, standing strong through the mess Geeks acting foolish, but you handled it best Pre-Chorus Under the chaos, your quiet strength breaks through No more playing it safe, I’m drawn straight to you Chorus Sixteen candles, I didn’t even know But now I see you shining, stealing the show Stacy, you’re the spark in this suburban night One look from you and everything feels right Sixteen candles, lighting up my view Girl, I’m noticing you… I’m noticing you Bridge Took your hand through the madness, left the crowd behind Streetlight conversation, losing track of time No more forgotten moments, no more going through the motions You’re the real thing, baby — my new devotion Final Chorus (building with emotion) Sixteen candles finally burning bright Now the whole world’s gonna know your name tonight Stacy, you noticed me, and I see you too Under these lights, it’s me and you Sixteen candles, this wish came true Me and you… me and you… Outro Happy birthday, Stacy… I’m right here noticing you…
