  Verse 1

  You bought the first round tonight Kept every glass filled and full Somebody stacked them by the box Proof of the night we pulled off

  Pre-chorus

  Somebody's lighting the candle Somebody's hushing the room Everyone leans in closer

  Chorus

  Lena, this one's for you Happy birthday, stand up and grin Nobody laughs quite like Lena Raise every glass we can find and begin

  Verse 2

  You always find the last table Talk until closing time calls We'd stay for you till morning Long after they're stacking the chairs and the stools

  Bridge

  However far the year has gone However loud the room gets tonight You're still the reason we're all here Still the one who makes it feel right

  Chorus

  Lena, this one's for you Happy birthday, stand up and grin Nobody laughs quite like Lena Raise every glass we can find and begin

  Outro

  The glasses empty round the box Another year that we get to keep you

  Verse 1

  The plates are flying off the table Chairs are tipping, rusty, unstable Nobody knows quite what to do Then here comes Lena, running through

  Chorus

  Lena, Lena, light of the day You chase the mess and make it play Whatever falls, you catch the fun Lena, Lena, second to none

  Verse 2

  Sand gets into every basket Napkins gone before we ask it You just laugh and grab a plate Turn the chaos into a fete

  Pre-chorus

  Wind can take the cake and candles Wind can take the cups and sandals But it can't touch how we feel

  Chorus

  Lena, Lena, light of the day You chase the mess and make it play Whatever falls, you catch the fun Lena, Lena, second to none

  Bridge

  Every year the wind comes round Every year you hold the ground We could lose the whole parade Still you'd make it feel like Cana

  Chorus

  Lena, Lena, light of the day You chase the mess and make it play Whatever falls, you catch the fun Lena, Lena, second to none

  Outro

  Let the paper plates go sailing We'll be here, still not failing

  Verse 1

  Butter knives sit in the bowl Soaking with the morning light You left them there and walked away Called me over just to fight

  Chorus

  Lena, Lena, light the candles now Everybody sing your name out loud Lena, put your feet up, take a bow We are lucky that you're around

  Verse 2

  You laugh loud over dirty plates Turn the kitchen into a scene Nothing here is ever plain When you're standing in between

  Pre-chorus

  So let the water sit and cool Let the mess wait by the door Because tonight is yours for sure

  Chorus

  Lena, Lena, light the candles now Everybody sing your name out loud Lena, put your feet up, take a bow We are lucky that you're around

  Bridge

  Another year of you in the room Making ordinary feel like more We'll wash the knives up later

  Chorus

  Lena, Lena, light the candles now Everybody sing your name out loud Lena, put your feet up, take a bow We are lucky that you're around

  Outro

  The bowl can wait till morning We're just glad you're here tonight
