Candles In The Powder Box
Style: Funk strut

[Verse 1]
No cake in the house tonight
So we made do, held on tight
Stuck candles in a soap flake box
You laughed so hard you nearly lost your socks

[Pre-chorus]
Doesn't matter what the tray is
We just wanted your eyes
On the flicker, on the glow

[Chorus]
Lincoln, make a wish and blink on
Every candle we could think on
You're the reason we all link on
One more year to raise a drink on

[Verse 2]
You blew hard, the flames bent low
Smoke curled up in a crooked show
Powder box got a little singed
We didn't care, we just grinned

[Chorus]
Lincoln, make a wish and blink on
Every candle we could think on
You're the reason we all link on
One more year to raise a drink on

[Bridge]
Doesn't take much to light you up
Just some wax and a chipped old cup
We'd build you a cake from cardboard and string
Just to watch you shine like this every spring

[Chorus]
Lincoln, make a wish and blink on
Every candle we could think on
You're the reason we all link on
One more year to raise a drink on

[Outro]
That box is still out on the side
You're still the flame we can't hide
