Six decades of love. One song about Denise.

Verse 1

Sixty candles and she's still the life of the roomNever needed her own, she just made space for the roomEvery birthday card arrived right on the dayNever once did she forget, never lost her way

Pre-Chorus

She was front row at the play when the curtain went upClapping loudest for us, never once giving upAnd when home got complicated, hard to be thereShe'd made up the spare bed, told us come on, love, share

Chorus

Here's to you, Auntie DeniseSixty years and never at easeJust to sit back while the world goes roundYou're the one who held us, safe and soundSo raise a glass, turn up the songThis whole family's owed you one all along

Verse 2

Tuesday nights she's out on the floorBoots on, spinning, always keeping scoreLine-dancing champion, nobody can quite believeBut we've seen the trophies, so we all agree

Pre-Chorus

She was front row at the play when the curtain went upClapping loudest for us, never once giving upAnd when home got complicated, hard to be thereShe'd made up the spare bed, told us come on, love, share

Chorus

Here's to you, Auntie DeniseSixty years and never at easeJust to sit back while the world goes roundYou're the one who held us, safe and soundSo raise a glass, turn up the songThis whole family's owed you one all along

Bridge

No kids of your own, but you'd never knowYou've got a house full of hearts that love you soEvery card, every bed made up with careEvery empty chair, love, you were always there

Chorus

Here's to you, Auntie DeniseSixty years and never at easeJust to sit back while the world goes roundYou're the one who held us, safe and soundSo raise a glass, turn up the songThis whole family's owed you one all along

Outro

Happy sixtieth, DeniseTake a bow, take your easeFront row's yours now, every dayWe'll be clapping all the way
