  Verse 1

  You spin the whole room warmer Just standing where you stand Nobody stays a stranger Once you take their hand

  Pre-chorus

  The drum keeps turning steady Round and round it goes And every year it's ready To bring you back to those

  Chorus

  Bonnie, Bonnie, look at you shine Turning the grey to gold Bonnie, you were always mine Long before I knew, I know

  Verse 2

  You wring the worry out of us Just showing up this way Nothing feels too heavy When you walk into the day

  Chorus

  Bonnie, Bonnie, look at you shine Turning the grey to gold Bonnie, you were always mine Long before I knew, I know

  Bridge

  Hang you up like Sunday washing Let you catch the light Every year that turns you softer Only makes you shine more bright

  Chorus

  Bonnie, Bonnie, look at you shine Turning the grey to gold Bonnie, you were always mine Long before I knew, I know

  Outro

  The drum slows down to stillness And still you're warm right through

  Verse 1

  Brass taps drip on tired old floors Nobody's leaving, nobody's bored You walk in and the whole night turns Something bright in you always burns

  Pre-chorus

  Raise your glass up, here's the plan Pass it round while the good times ran Tonight's the night the cheering starts

  Chorus

  Bonnie, Bonnie, light of the room Every corner feels like June You're the reason we're singing tonight Bonnie, Bonnie, hold that light

  Verse 2

  Sticky corner, same old chairs Nobody counts the passing years You make the dullest evening shine Every single time is your time

  Bridge

  Doesn't matter what the weather brings You're still the one the whole room sings Doesn't matter where you've been or where you're bound We're glad you're here, we're glad you're found

  Chorus

  Bonnie, Bonnie, light of the room Every corner feels like June You're the reason we're singing tonight Bonnie, Bonnie, hold that light

  Outro

  Let the taps drip, let the night stay We're glad you were born, glad you're here today

  Verse 1

  Old canvas tent, standing empty Wooden horses turning slow But something here still shines out And it's the same glow that you throw

  Pre-chorus

  You make the quiet come alive You turn the faded into gold Light the candles, here it comes

  Chorus

  Happy birthday, Bonnie Every year you shine through Nobody lights a room like Bonnie, the way you do

  Verse 2

  Painted horses, chipped and worn out Still they circle round and round You could walk through any old place And still be the best thing found

  Pre-chorus

  You make the quiet come alive You turn the faded into gold Light the candles, here it comes

  Chorus

  Happy birthday, Bonnie Every year you shine through Nobody lights a room like Bonnie, the way you do

  Bridge

  Let the whole room sing it loud Let them know just who you are One more year of you among us Brightest thing by far

  Chorus

  Happy birthday, Bonnie Every year you shine through Nobody lights a room like Bonnie, the way you do

  Outro

  Those old horses keep on turning Bonnie, so do you
