  Verse 1

  Boxes leaning on the greenhouse wall lights are humming overhead somebody strung them up for you just to see your face turn red

  Pre-chorus

  We piled up whatever we could find lit the yard for one more year now we are ready, here you come

  Chorus

  Isabel, the lights are all for you every wire humming your name Isabel, however old you turn you still burn brighter than the flame

  Verse 2

  Nobody planned this old glass room but somehow it turned out right cardboard towers holding up the dark just so we could keep you in the light

  Chorus

  Isabel, the lights are all for you every wire humming your name Isabel, however old you turn you still burn brighter than the flame

  Bridge

  Blow out nothing, just stay a while let the bulbs keep buzzing on we are not ready to lose this glow not before the whole song's done

  Chorus

  Isabel, the lights are all for you every wire humming your name Isabel, however old you turn you still burn brighter than the flame

  Outro

  The boxes will get put away but you will still be why we sang

  Verse 1

  Brown flour dusted on the wood Brass scale tipping, sweet and slow You hum away like nothing could Ever dim the warmth you throw

  Pre-chorus

  We gather round to watch you shine Raise a glass, the hour is near Something in this room says tell

  Chorus

  Isabel, the room lights up Ring the news on every bell Here's to you, we won't stop now Isabel, we love you well

  Verse 2

  You measure joy in every cup Give it out and never sell Steady hands that build us up Nobody does it half as well

  Chorus

  Isabel, the room lights up Ring the news on every bell Here's to you, we won't stop now Isabel, we love you well

  Bridge

  Another year, another spell Cast by you without a sound Whatever comes, you will excel We're glad you're here, we're glad you're found

  Chorus

  Isabel, the room lights up Ring the news on every bell Here's to you, we won't stop now Isabel, we love you well

  Outro

  The flour settles on the spoon We'll toast you well past afternoon

  Verse 1

  Cardboard box up on the glass shelf Red string knotted, saved for yourself Everybody walking past can tell There's something inside that box that will excel

  Chorus

  Isabel, you're the treat we save Isabel, worth the fuss we made Cut the string, let the good times swell Happy birthday, our Isabel

  Verse 2

  Bakery humming, closing up soon But they held one back just for you Wrapped it careful, rang the bell Said save this one for Isabel

  Pre-chorus

  Candles waiting, matches in hand Whole room hushed like we planned Something sweet's about to swell

  Chorus

  Isabel, you're the treat we save Isabel, worth the fuss we made Cut the string, let the good times swell Happy birthday, our Isabel

  Bridge

  Every year we tie the bow again Every year the joy's the same You're the reason we still dwell On birthdays sweeter than farewell

  Chorus

  Isabel, you're the treat we save Isabel, worth the fuss we made Cut the string, let the good times swell Happy birthday, our Isabel

  Outro

  Red twine loosens, box comes open Sweetest thing that we could offer
