  Verse 1

  Footprints by the old iron fence Melting soft in grey and thin But some marks never fade from view That's the kind you leave behind, Ben

  Chorus

  Happy birthday to you, Ben Light a candle, let it burn Every year you come back round again We keep loving you in return

  Verse 2

  Snow gives way but you remain Warm as summer, steady as ten Every winter comes and goes Your kind of warmth don't melt again

  Pre-chorus

  So raise your voice up for the one Who never lets the cold win Tonight we're calling out his name

  Chorus

  Happy birthday to you, Ben Light a candle, let it burn Every year you come back round again We keep loving you in return

  Bridge

  However far the roads may bend We know just where you've been You're the warmth we're walking toward

  Chorus

  Happy birthday to you, Ben Light a candle, let it burn Every year you come back round again We keep loving you in return

  Outro

  The slush will melt, the fence will stand But you're the warmth in every hand

  Verse 1

  Neon buzzing over the bar Glasses stacking, we've come this far Somebody's telling the same old joke Ben, you make the whole room laugh

  Pre-chorus

  Count the glasses, lose the count Let the night climb higher now Something's building, get ready to shout

  Chorus

  Ben, tonight we're shouting your name Nothing about you stays the same We keep pouring, you keep glowing Ben, you set this whole place aflame

  Verse 2

  Another round comes to the table Talk gets loud, the jukebox is able Somebody's climbing on a chair Ben, you keep this whole night stable

  Pre-chorus

  Count the glasses, lose the count Let the night climb higher now Something's building, get ready to shout

  Chorus

  Ben, tonight we're shouting your name Nothing about you stays the same We keep pouring, you keep glowing Ben, you set this whole place aflame

  Bridge

  Here's to the noise and the light Here's to you getting it right Every glass upon that shelf Says something good about yourself

  Chorus

  Ben, tonight we're shouting your name Nothing about you stays the same We keep pouring, you keep glowing Ben, you set this whole place aflame

  Outro

  Neon still buzzing, glasses still stacked Ben, we're glad you're exactly like that

  Verse 1

  Mud still marks the empty field Silence where the whistle sealed Floodlights hum against the grey But we came here for your day

  Pre-chorus

  Every year you show us how Something bright can start right now Feel it building, feel it swell

  Chorus

  Happy birthday, happy Ben Light the pitch up once again You're the reason we all cheer Best part of showing up all year

  Verse 2

  Goalposts standing straight and tall Waiting for another ball But tonight it's not the game You're the one who lit the flame

  Chorus

  Happy birthday, happy Ben Light the pitch up once again You're the reason we all cheer Best part of showing up all year

  Bridge

  No trophy says it half as true Every good thing traces back to you Ben, we're glad you're in this world

  Chorus

  Happy birthday, happy Ben Light the pitch up once again You're the reason we all cheer Best part of showing up all year

  Outro

  Long after the floodlights fade We're glad that you were made
