  Verse 1

  Somebody piled the bench up high Boxes stacked against the sky Nobody's opened one yet We're all just waiting for you to arrive

  Pre-chorus

  Every box is holding its breath Every ribbon wants to be undone So come and claim what's yours

  Chorus

  Brenda, this whole day is yours Open every one of the doors You make the ordinary into splendour Nobody fills a room like Brenda

  Verse 2

  Cardboard towers lean and sway We built them up to mark the day You're the reason we all showed up Standing here with nothing to say

  Chorus

  Brenda, this whole day is yours Open every one of the doors You make the ordinary into splendour Nobody fills a room like Brenda

  Bridge

  Some folk you just remember Long after the boxes are gone We'll still be talking about tonight Come September, we'll carry it on

  Chorus

  Brenda, this whole day is yours Open every one of the doors You make the ordinary into splendour Nobody fills a room like Brenda

  Outro

  The bench will empty, the boxes clear But you're the gift we gathered here

  Verse 1

  We climbed on the back seat laughing paper streamers flying like confetti you grabbed my hand and started singing nothing in this world felt petty

  Pre-chorus

  Something in you lights the whole ride up turns a tired bus into a party so let the horns come in loud and steady

  Chorus

  Brenda, this is your day now clap your hands and hold your splendour nobody shines quite like you, Brenda warm as summer, never tender

  Verse 2

  You always find the seat in back where the noise is and the fun begins strangers turn to friends around you that's the kind of joy your presence brings

  Chorus

  Brenda, this is your day now clap your hands and hold your splendour nobody shines quite like you, Brenda warm as summer, never tender

  Bridge

  Blow the candles, let them scatter like the paper on that old bus floor you were always what mattered open up the door for more

  Chorus

  Brenda, this is your day now clap your hands and hold your splendour nobody shines quite like you, Brenda warm as summer, never tender

  Outro

  Somewhere still that bus is rolling streamers catching all your light

  Verse 1

  A white box on the step outside Somebody rang the bell and hid We knew before we saw your face This morning had your name and place

  Pre-chorus

  Candles waiting, box unties Everybody's got their eyes On the one this day is for

  Chorus

  Brenda, Brenda, hear us sing You're the whole reason for this thing No one fills a room so well Brenda, you've got that kind of spell

  Verse 2

  You always knew just what to bring Now let us give you everything This cake won't match what you have done But we're here now, and you're the one

  Pre-chorus

  Candles waiting, box unties Everybody's got their eyes On the one this day is for

  Chorus

  Brenda, Brenda, hear us sing You're the whole reason for this thing No one fills a room so well Brenda, you've got that kind of spell

  Bridge

  However far this year has gone You brought us all together still We're glad to raise a glass and sing We're glad you're here for everything

  Chorus

  Brenda, Brenda, hear us sing You're the whole reason for this thing No one fills a room so well Brenda, you've got that kind of spell

  Outro

  The box is open on the step We'll keep this day like something kept
