Happy Birthday Sweet 16
Neil Sedaka 

Tra la-la-la-la la-la-la-la
Happy birthday sweet sixteen
Tra la-la-la-la la-la-la-la
Happy birthday sweet sixteen

Tonight's the night I've waited for
Because you're not a baby anymore
You've turned into the prettiest girl I've ever seen
Happy birthday sweet sixteen

What happened to that funny face
My little tomboy now wears satin and lace
I can't believe my eyes you're just a teenage dream
Happy birthday sweet sixteen

When you were only six I was your big brother
Then when you were ten We didn't like each other
When you were thirteen You were my funny valentine
But since you've grown up Your future is sewn up
From now on you're gonna be mine, so

If I should smile with sweet surprise
It's just that you've grown up before my very eyes
You've turned into the prettiest girl I've ever seen
Happy birthday sweet sixteen

REPEAT LAST VERSE
Tra la-la-la-la la-la-la-la Happy birthday sweet sixteen
Tra la-la-la-la la-la-la-la Happy birthday sweet sixteen
FADE: Tra la-la-la-la la-la-la-la Happy birthday sweet sixteen

Happy Birthday Sweet 16
Lenny Gomulka -  /
same as Neil Sedaka above

Hilary Duff - Sweet Sixteen
Today I'm gonna ride away
And feel the sun throughout my hair
Finally free to be who I wanna be
Who that is I don't really care

'Cuz I've got friends who love me
Blue skies are above me
My blonde hair is everywhere

[Chorus:]
Sweet sixteen
Gonna spread my wings
Sweet sixteen
It's my chance to shine
Sweet sixteen
Discovering
Sweet sixteen
So much more to life
Sweet sixteen

Drivin' down to the club where we go to dance
Radio is blastin' and the top is down

There ain't nothin' in my way
'Cept the traffic of L.A.

And I've got friends who love me
Bright stars shine above me
My blonde hair is everywhere

[Chorus]

Mamma loves me and a sister who shows me, and a daddy's always there

[Chorus]

I wanna know what it feels like
I need to see it from the inside
I can taste a bit of what I will find
So much more to life
Sweet sixteen

 

 

You're Sixteen You're Beautiful

Johnny Burnette 

Ooh, you come out of a dream,
Peaches and cream,
Lips like strawberry wine,
You're sixteen,
You're beautiful and you're mine.

You're all ribbons and curls,
Oh, what a girl!
Eyes that twinkle and shine,
You're sixteen,
You're beautiful and you're mine.

You're my baby, you're my pet,
We fell in love on the night we met.
You touched my hand, my heart went "pop",
And ooh, when we kissed we could not stop.

You walked out of my dream,
Into my arms,
Now you're my angel divine,
You're sixteen,
You're beautiful and you're mine.

You're my baby, you're my pet,
We fell in love on the night we met,
You touched my hand, my heart went pop,
Ooh when we kissed we could not stop.

You walked out of my dreams, and into my car,
Now you're my angel divine,
You're sixteen, you're beautiful, and you're mine. 


You're Sixteen You're Beautiful
Ringo Starr 
Same as above



She Was Only 16
Sam Cooke 

She was only sixteen, only sixteen
I loved her so
But she was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know

We'd laugh and we'd sing
And do the little things
That made my heart glow
But she was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know

Why did I give my heart so fast
It never will happen again
But I was a mere lad of sixteen
I've aged a year since then

She was only sixteen, only sixteen
With eyes that would glow
But she was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know

(Then why did you give your heart so fast)
Oh, it never will happen again
(But you were a mere lad of sixteen)
I've aged a year since then

She was only sixteen, only sixteen
With eyes that would glow
But she was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know
But she was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know



Sixteen Candles
The Crests 
Sixteen candles in my heart will glow
For ever and ever for I love you so
(For I love you so)

You're only sixteen (sixteen)
But you're my teenage queen
(You're my queen)
Oh, you're the prettiest
Loveliest girl I've ever seen
(I've ever seen, oh)

Sixteen candles in my heart will glow
For ever and ever for I love you so
(For I love you so)
For I love you so



Sweet Sixteen
Billy Idol 

Ill do anything
For my sweet sixteen,
And Ill do anything
For little run away child

Gave my heart an engagement ring.
She took everything.
Everything I gave her,
Oh sweet sixteen.

Built a moon
For a rocking chair.
I never guessed it would
Rock her far from here
Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Someone's built a candy castle
For my sweet sixteen.
Someone's built a candy brain
And filled it in.

Well Ill do anything
For my sweet sixteen
Oh Ill do anything
For little runaway child

Well, memories will burn you.
Memories grow older as people can
They just get colder
Like sweet sixteen

Oh, I see its clear
Baby, that you are
All through here
Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Someone's built a candy castle
For my sweet sixteen,
Someone's built a candy house
To house her in.
Someone's built a candy castle
For my sweet sixteen.
Someone's built a candy brain
And filled it in.

And I do anything
For my sweet sixteen
Oh, I do anything
For little run away girl.

Yeah, sad and lonely and blue.
Yeah, getting over you.
How, how do you think it feels
Yeah to get up in the morning, get over you.
Up in the morning, get over you.
Wipe away the tears, get over you,
Get over, get over...

My sweet sixteen
Oh runaway child
Oh sweet sixteen
Little runaway girl.

Gave my heart an engagement ring
She left everything
Everything I gave her
Sweet sixteen
Built a moon
For a rocking chair,
Never guessed it would
Rock her far from here
Oh, oh, oh

Someone's built a candy castle
For my sweet sixteen.
Someone's built a candy house
To house her in.
Someone's built a candy castle
For my sweet sixteen
Someone's built a candy house
To house her in.

And Ill do anything
For my sweet sixteen
Oh, Ill do anything
For little runaway child.

Do anything
For my sweet sixteen
Ill do anything
For little runaway girl
Little runaway girl
Oh sweet sixteen
Oh sweet sixteen
Oh.



When you were sweet sixteen
Perry Como

When first I saw the love light in your eye
I dreamt the world held naught but joy for me
And even though we drifted far apart
I never dream, but what I dream of thee

I love you as I never loved before
Since first I met you on the village green
Come to me or my dream of love is O'er
I love you as I loved you,
When you were sweet
When you were sweet sixteen
2. Last night I dreamt I held your hand in mine
And once again you were my happy bride
I kissed you as I did in Auld Lang Sine
As to the church we wandered side by side

I love you as I never loved before
Since first I met you on the village green
Come to me or my dream of love is O'er
I love you as I loved you,
When you were sweet
When you were sweet sixteen


Happy Happy Birthday Baby
Ronni Milsap 

Margo Sylvia/Gil Lopez)

Happy, happy, birthday baby
Although you're with somebody new
Thought I'd drop a line to say
That I wish this happy day
Would find me beside you.

Happy, happy, birthday baby
No, I can't call you my baby
Seems like years ago we met
On a day I can't forget.

'Cause that's when we fell in love
Do you remember the names we had for each other
You were my pretty, I was your baby
How could we say goodbye?

Hope I didn't spoil your birthday
I know I'm acting kinda crazy
So I'll close this note to you
With good luck and wishes too.

Happy, happy birthday baby
Do you remember the names we had for each other
You were my pretty..I was your baby
How could we say goodbye?

Hope I didn't spoil your birthday
I know I'm acting kinda crazy
So, I'll close this note to you
With good luck and wishes too.

Happy, happy, birthday baby...



Sixteen Candles
The Jackson 5 

Happy birthday
Happy birthday
I love you so

Sixteen candles
make a lovely sight
but not as bright
as your hazel eyes

Blow out the candles baby
make a wish come true
blow out three wishes
that you love me too

(1st chorus)
you're only sixteen (oh girl)
but you're my teenage
queen (sixteen)
but you're the
prettiest and the
loveliest girl
I've ever seen
(I've ever seen)

(2nd chorus)
sixteen candles
in my heart will glow
forever and ever
oh, I love you so
(I love you so) happy birthday
happy birthday, baby
I love you so, oh, oh, oh, oh
happy birthday
happy birthday, baby
I love you so, baby,
baby, baby, baby
happy birthday
happy birthday, baby
I love you so


Always Sixteen
Billy Ray Cyrus

And, baby, every kiss we kiss still feels like it's the first.
And it turns me on to know this feeling's never gonna fade.
I'm still gonna want you even when we're old and grey.
Love is always sixteen.
It's always the same, though people might change
Its forever young:
Love don't have to turn cold, though lovers grow old.
Love don't have to grow weak,
Cause love is always sixteen.
Through all of its phases, it's timeless and ageless.
You're like the sun in a clear morning sky.
Love is always sixteen.
It's always the same, though people might change
Its forever young:
Love don't have to turn cold, though lovers grow old.
Love don't have to grow weak,
'Cause love:
'Cause love is always sixteen.
Is always sixteen...

I'm Not A Girl Not A Woman Yet
Britney Spears

I used to think
I had the answers to everything,
But now I know
Life doesn't always go my way, yeah...
Feels like I'm caught in the middle
That's when I realize...

[Chorus:]
I'm not a girl,
Not yet a woman.
All I need is time,
A moment that is mine,
While I'm in between.

[Verse 2]
I'm not a girl,
There is no need to protect me.
It's time that I
Learn to face up to this on my own.
I've seen so much more than you know now,
So don't tell me to shut my eyes.

[Chorus]

I'm not a girl,
But if you look at me closely,
You will see it my eyes.
This girl will always find
Her way.

I'm not a girl
(I'm not a girl don't tell me what to believe).
Not Yet a woman
(I'm just trying to find the woman in me, yeah).
All I need is time (All I need),
A moment that is mine (That is mine),
While I'm in between.

I'm not a girl
Not yet a woman
All I need is time (All I need),
A moment that is mine,
While I'm in between.

I'm not a girl,
Not yet a woman.



Remember Me This Way
Jordan Hill

Every now and then
We find a special friend
Who never lets us down
Who understands it all
Reaches out each time you fall
You're the best friend that I've found
I know you can't stay
A part of you will never ever go away
Your heart will stay

* I'll make a wish for you
And hope it will come true
That life would just be kind
To such a gentle mind
If you lose your way
Think back on yesterday
Remember me this way
Remember me this way
Hmm……….. this way

I don't need eyes to see
The love you bring to me
No matter where I go
And I know that you'll be there
Forever more apart of time, you're everywhere
I'll always cares
(Repeat *)

And I'll be right behind your shoulder watching you
I'll be standing by your side and all you do
And I won't ever leave
As long as you believe
You just believe
(Repeat *)


Sweet Little Sixteen
The Beatles

They're really rocking in Boston
Philadelphia, PA
Deep in the heart of Texas
On down in Frisco Bay
All over Saint Louis
On down to New Orleans
All the cats want to dance with
Sweet little sixteen

Sweet little sixteen
She just got to have
About half a million
Framed autographs
Her wallet is filled with pictures
She get 'em one by one
Becomes so excited
Watch and look at her run boy who
Mommy mommy
Please may I go
It's such a sight to see
Somebody steal the show
Oh daddy daddy
I beg of you
Well please say it to mommy
It's all right with you
Ow!

Sweet little sixteen
She's got the grown-up blues
Tight dresses and lipstick
She's blowing high healed shoes
Well by tomorrow morning
She'll have to change her train
Become sweet sixteen
A back in class again

Yea cause they're really rocking in Boston
Philadelphia, PA
Deep in the heart of Texas
On down in Frisco Bay
All over Saint Louis
On down to New Orleans
All the cats want to dance with
Sweet little sixteen


Sixteen going on Seventeen
Sound of Music  

Rolfe: You wait little girl on an empty stage
For fate to turn the light on
Your life little girl is an empty page
That men will want to write on

Liesl: To write on...

Rolfe: You are sixteen going on seventeen, baby it's time to think
Better beware, be canny and careful, baby you're on the brink
You are sixteen going on seventeen, fellows will fall in line
Eager young lads, and roues and cads
Will offer you food and wine
Totally unprepared are you, to face a world of men
Timid and shy and scared are you, of things beyond your ken
You need someone older and wiser, telling you what to do
I am seventeen going on eighteen, I'll take care of you

Liesl: I am sixteen going on seventeen, I know that
I'm naive
Fellows I meet may tell me I'm sweet, and willingly I believe
I am sixteen going on seventeen, innocent as a rose
Bachelor dandies, drinkers of brandies, what do I know of those
Totally unprepared am I, to face a world of men
Timid and shy and scared am I, of things beyond my ken
I need someone older and wiser, telling me what to do
You are seventeen going on eighteen, I'll depend on you
