Yellow on the Floor
Style: Motown soul

[Verse 1]
I dropped the flowers by the toaster
Ran to grab the phone instead
Your voice came through and stopped me
Every plan fell out of my head

[Pre-chorus]
Now the petals are scattered on the tile
But my whole day just turned around
Something in me wants to shout it

[Chorus]
Happy birthday, Irene, my heart is so full
You make the whole kitchen gleam
Nobody lights up a room like Irene
You're brighter than gold, you're serene

[Verse 2]
You always ring right when I'm busy
Never once ask what's the cost
Some folks would wait for a better time
With you, no minute's ever lost

[Pre-chorus]
Now the petals are scattered on the tile
But my whole day just turned around
Something in me wants to shout it

[Chorus]
Happy birthday, Irene, my heart is so full
You make the whole kitchen gleam
Nobody lights up a room like Irene
You're brighter than gold, you're serene

[Bridge]
However far you wander, you still find your way home
However long the silence, you still pick up the phone
Every single year you make it feel brand new

[Chorus]
Happy birthday, Irene, my heart is so full
You make the whole kitchen gleam
Nobody lights up a room like Irene
You're brighter than gold, you're serene

[Outro]
I'll pick those daffodils up later
Right now I just want to say your name
