Verse 1
Green balloon out on the grass Pigeons hopping, watching it pass Sitting on a slatted bench You'd have made the whole thing class
Pre-chorus
You turn small things into gold Every story better told So let's get this candle lit
Chorus
Derek, Derek, raise a cheer Nobody else we'd rather have here Something in you steady and true Happy birthday, Derek, my dear
Verse 2
Some folk fade into the wall You're the one we notice at all Even pigeons stop and stare Waiting to see what you'd call
Pre-chorus
You turn small things into gold Every story better told So let's get this candle lit
Chorus
Derek, Derek, raise a cheer Nobody else we'd rather have here Something in you steady and true Happy birthday, Derek, my dear
Bridge
Another year, another lap Still the one who fills the gap We're glad you're standing where you are Right here with us, no need to map
Chorus
Derek, Derek, raise a cheer Nobody else we'd rather have here Something in you steady and true Happy birthday, Derek, my dear
Outro
That green balloon is drifting still We're happy you're the one we love

Verse 1
Corner flag is dancing in the breeze Cones are stacked up neat beside the goal Something in that muddy field agrees You're the kind that warms an old cold soul
Pre-chorus
Every year you show up strong Steady as the wind that blows along We been waiting to sing this song
Chorus
Derek, Derek, light the day up bright Come and feel this love we send your way Nobody else could hold a room so tight Derek, we're glad you're here today
Verse 2
Boots all muddy, sky still full of grey Still the flag keeps flying, doesn't care You're the one who turns a rough old day Into something we all want to share
Pre-chorus
Every year you show up strong Steady as the wind that blows along We been waiting to sing this song
Chorus
Derek, Derek, light the day up bright Come and feel this love we send your way Nobody else could hold a room so tight Derek, we're glad you're here today
Bridge
Sun breaks through the clouds for you Wind picks up and cheers you on Whatever this whole year puts you through We'll be right here till it's gone
Chorus
Derek, Derek, light the day up bright Come and feel this love we send your way Nobody else could hold a room so tight Derek, we're glad you're here today
Outro
Flag still flying, cones still stacked in line Happy birthday, Derek, shine and shine

Verse 1
You breathe on the glass and grin tracing your name in the fog the back seat feels like home even stuck in traffic jam slog
Pre-chorus
Every year the candles climb but you never seem to age something steady, something kind turning one more crowded page
Chorus
Derek, the window's clearing now light comes pouring through happy birthday, hold that light Derek, we're glad it's you
Verse 2
You wipe the glass with your sleeve clear a little patch to see the whole world outside looks brighter when you're sitting next to me
Bridge
Rain keeps falling on the roof we don't mind the weather another year of you beside us warm because we're together
Chorus
Derek, the window's clearing now light comes pouring through happy birthday, hold that light Derek, we're glad it's you
Outro
The glass has cleared, the fog has gone but your warmth is staying on
