  Verse 1

  Suitcases lined up in a row Waiting on a train that's slow But the platform lights up bright The minute that you're in the show

  Chorus

  Hilda, you make the whole room glow Every station knows your name, oh You're wilder than the tickets say Hilda, you're never, ever slow

  Verse 2

  The speakers crackle overhead Names and numbers, half unsaid But we don't need the noise at all When you walk in, the day turns gold

  Pre-chorus

  Somebody's calling out the time Somebody's counting down the line But we're just waiting here for you

  Chorus

  Hilda, you make the whole room glow Every station knows your name, oh You're wilder than the tickets say Hilda, you're never, ever slow

  Bridge

  No ticket needed, you're the prize No clock can hurry your goodbyes We'd wait all day to see you land Right here, where the whole world sighs

  Chorus

  Hilda, you make the whole room glow Every station knows your name, oh You're wilder than the tickets say Hilda, you're never, ever slow

  Outro

  Let every suitcase stay right here Because you've landed, and we're near

  Verse 1

  Pigeons fight for crumbs on the ground Down by the rusted iron slats You laugh and toss another crust round Kinder than most, and that's a fact

  Pre-chorus

  Candles waiting, the room's gone still Everybody here feels the thrill So let it out, we're ready to shout

  Chorus

  Hilda, Hilda, light up the room Nobody shines quite like you can Some folks grow soft, you just grow wilder Happiest birthday to you, Hilda

  Verse 2

  You feed the birds and you feed us too Always giving more than you take We count ourselves lucky knowing you Every year sweeter, like good cake

  Bridge

  Here's to the years still coming your way Here's to the joy you hand out free We're raising a glass to your day Grateful as anyone could be

  Chorus

  Hilda, Hilda, light up the room Nobody shines quite like you can Some folks grow soft, you just grow wilder Happiest birthday to you, Hilda

  Outro

  The crusts are gone, the pigeons scatter You stay with us, that's all that matters

  Verse 1

  Empty flour tin by the door You always give a little more Mugs stacked up for who might come You saved a chair for everyone

  Pre-chorus

  You never needed much to give You just kept room for all of us Tonight we're raising every cup

  Chorus

  Hilda, light the candles wilder Fill the room until it's fuller You're the warmth that we run milder Hilda, nothing here feels colder

  Verse 2

  You knew the kettle's every sound You kept the good cups turned right round Whoever came, you made them stay You turned a Tuesday into May

  Pre-chorus

  You never needed much to give You just kept room for all of us Tonight we're raising every cup

  Chorus

  Hilda, light the candles wilder Fill the room until it's fuller You're the warmth that we run milder Hilda, nothing here feels colder

  Bridge

  Blow them out and make the wish However big, however small We'll fill the tin, we'll fill the dish You've always given us it all

  Chorus

  Hilda, light the candles wilder Fill the room until it's fuller You're the warmth that we run milder Hilda, nothing here feels colder

  Outro

  The mugs are waiting by the flour Here's to you this happy hour
