  Verse 1

  Three pints stand up on the table Sticky wood beneath our hands One match left to strike the moment You're the reason here we stand

  Chorus

  Alys, light the room up like a palace Raise a glass and raise it twice Nobody here could call you callous You're the warmest thing in our lives

  Verse 2

  Empty glasses, one more round then Somebody grabs the box to strike Every year we say the same thing Nobody quite like you in sight

  Pre-chorus

  Something in this table's laughter Something in the way we grin Feels like it's been building to this

  Chorus

  Alys, light the room up like a palace Raise a glass and raise it twice Nobody here could call you callous You're the warmest thing in our lives

  Bridge

  No malice ever crossed your mind Just open hands and open doors We'd cross a room to find you, Alys You're the one that we show up for

  Chorus

  Alys, light the room up like a palace Raise a glass and raise it twice Nobody here could call you callous You're the warmest thing in our lives

  Outro

  Three glasses empty on the table Still we're glad we struck that light

  Verse 1

  Crate of plums beside the scale Brass arm tipping, telling its tale Nobody needs to measure you No number could ever fit the scale

  Chorus

  Alys, Alys, light up the room Every year you're back too soon Nothing weighs the same as you Alys, we're glad you bloomed

  Verse 2

  Stack the fruit up, watch it lean Sweetest thing that we have seen But put you next to all of it You outshine the whole routine

  Pre-chorus

  So let the candles catch and climb Let somebody pour the wine We've been waiting all this time for

  Chorus

  Alys, Alys, light up the room Every year you're back too soon Nothing weighs the same as you Alys, we're glad you bloomed

  Bridge

  No scale was built to hold your worth No crate could carry all your worth We just keep on counting anyway Glad we get another year on earth

  Chorus

  Alys, Alys, light up the room Every year you're back too soon Nothing weighs the same as you Alys, we're glad you bloomed

  Outro

  Let the plums roll where they may We already found our gold today

  Verse 1

  Chalk lines fading on the grass Iron goalpost standing tall Every year that games has passed You're the one I cheer for, Alys

  Pre-chorus

  You never needed to be told How much you're worth to us So let the whole room hold

  Chorus

  Alys, light the candles high Never once been callous You're the reason we all try Happy birthday, Alys

  Verse 2

  Damp grass under morning feet You'd run until the whistle blew Nothing ever felt complete Until the room was full of you

  Bridge

  No palace built could match your name No crown could shine as true We're not here for cake or fame We're only here for you

  Chorus

  Alys, light the candles high Never once been callous You're the reason we all try Happy birthday, Alys

  Outro

  Chalk will fade back into rain But you, you still remain
