  Verse 1

  We set the candles down for you Wind's picking up, the sky turns grey Nobody moves, nobody cares The cake stays lit because of you

  Pre-chorus

  Here comes the rain, here comes the cheer We're not going home, not yet, not now Not while the flame is burning

  Chorus

  Henry, this whole plot sings for you Every row of it, every furrow too Rain can fall, we'll sing it down There's no one else we'd rather crown

  Verse 2

  The soil's gone dark beneath our boots Someone's holding a coat like a tent We're laughing louder than the thunder All because you're here, present

  Bridge

  Let the whole sky open wide We've got a candle on our side Nothing washes out this year Not while you are standing here

  Chorus

  Henry, this whole plot sings for you Every row of it, every furrow too Rain can fall, we'll sing it down There's no one else we'd rather crown

  Outro

  The cake got wet but we didn't care We'd sing this again, any weather, anywhere

  Verse 1

  You keep the whole queue smiling waiting there behind the glass watching frosting catch the light hoping this good day will last

  Pre-chorus

  The candles all are lit now the box is tied with string one more minute, hold your breath for the name we're going to sing

  Chorus

  Henry, Henry, this one's yours the sweetest thing in view many candles, many years but none of them like you

  Verse 2

  You laugh while the counter's busy you make the whole shop grin the baker saves the last slice because she knows you'll win

  Pre-chorus

  The candles all are lit now the box is tied with string one more minute, hold your breath for the name we're going to sing

  Chorus

  Henry, Henry, this one's yours the sweetest thing in view many candles, many years but none of them like you

  Bridge

  Every year we line up for you every year the answer's plain there's no cake that's sweet as knowing Henry, we'd queue again

  Chorus

  Henry, Henry, this one's yours the sweetest thing in view many candles, many years but none of them like you

  Outro

  Take the box, the day is yours now we were glad to wait in line

  Verse 1

  Gift sat waiting on the seat City lights along the street I keep glancing over there Just to check that you're still there

  Pre-chorus

  Every light turns gold tonight Streets are humming, timed just right Something's building, holding, then

  Chorus

  Henry, Henry, count the years Blow the candles, raise the cheers Nobody else could make it grand You're the best thing in this land

  Verse 2

  Ribbon catching every glow Radio's playing soft and low You laugh at something out the glass Wishing this ride would never pass

  Bridge

  Doesn't matter where we're bound Just glad that you're around Every mile feels like a gift Every corner gives us lift

  Chorus

  Henry, Henry, count the years Blow the candles, raise the cheers Nobody else could make it grand You're the best thing in this land

  Outro

  Lights still glowing on the seat Carry you home, streets complete
