Balloons Over the Gate
Style: Country hoedown

[Verse 1]
You kicked the chalk dust into the air
You laughed like nothing could bring you down
Every step you took was a dare
You were the best thing in that whole town

[Chorus]
Vincent, Vincent, light up the yard
Grab every hand and pull us all in
Nobody dances quite so hard
Happy birthday, Vincent, let the party begin

[Verse 2]
Yellow balloons still bob on that gate
Same as the year that we first met you
Some things get better the longer they wait
Like knowing a friend who always gets you

[Pre-chorus]
Count every candle, count every year
Someone's pouring, someone's grinning ear to ear
The whole room's leaning in to hear

[Chorus]
Vincent, Vincent, light up the yard
Grab every hand and pull us all in
Nobody dances quite so hard
Happy birthday, Vincent, let the party begin

[Bridge]
Since then we've watched you grow and glow
Steady as chalk lines under our feet
You're the one we always want to know
The reason this whole street feels complete

[Chorus]
Vincent, Vincent, light up the yard
Grab every hand and pull us all in
Nobody dances quite so hard
Happy birthday, Vincent, let the party begin

[Outro]
The balloons will drift, the chalk will fade
But you're the joy that never sways
