Birthday Songs for Louise

Verse 1

Rain came down on the goalposts bent Foil streamers soaked but they stayed content You laughed out loud in the driving rain Turned a washed out day to a game

Chorus

Louise, Louise, light up this town We're stamping boots and we won't sit down Raise every glass up, raise it with ease Nobody shines quite like Louise

Verse 2

You pulled us in when the mud got deep Kept the whole team on their feet Nobody left out in the cold You're the warmth this crowd will hold

Pre-chorus

So grab a hand and grab the beat Stomp it loud out on the street Here's the part where we all agree

Chorus

Louise, Louise, light up this town We're stamping boots and we won't sit down Raise every glass up, raise it with ease Nobody shines quite like Louise

Bridge

Through the storm you kept the score Made us want to give some more That kind of heart don't come and go We're glad we get to watch it grow

Chorus

Louise, Louise, light up this town We're stamping boots and we won't sit down Raise every glass up, raise it with ease Nobody shines quite like Louise

Outro

Mud on our boots and streamers torn Glad you're the one that we're cheering for

Verse 1

Somebody stacked the cups too high they lean like they might say goodbye the folding tables creak and sway but every eye here loves you so

Pre-chorus

The fiddle's tuning, floor's still bare the room is holding on to something rare so before it tips, before it spills

Chorus

Louise, the whole place came for you stomping on this old parquet, we do nobody here came for the trees just to watch you laugh, Louise

Verse 2

The banjo's loud, the punch is warm somebody's kid runs through the storm you catch them up and spin them twice and the whole room feels like home

Bridge

Let the cups fall where they fall we'll only laugh and pour some more tonight the crooked stack stands tall because you're the reason for the roar

Chorus

Louise, the whole place came for you stomping on this old parquet, we do nobody here came for the trees just to watch you laugh, Louise

Outro

Someday they'll sweep the cups away but not the love we brought today

Verse 1

Rain is tracing down the pane watching the wet street below something in me feels so glad just to know you, just to glow

Pre-chorus

Every year the glass fogs up warm breath fighting off the chill that's the feeling building now

Chorus

Louise, the kettle's on for you fill the room with all this cheer raise a glass to one more year Louise, we're glad that you are here

Verse 2

Streetlights blur through misted glass voices calling out your name find you laughing by the door every birthday feels the same

Chorus

Louise, the kettle's on for you fill the room with all this cheer raise a glass to one more year Louise, we're glad that you are here

Bridge

Whatever's outside, let it pour you make the warmth we're standing in this is the one day for you so let the whole room bring you in

Chorus

Louise, the kettle's on for you fill the room with all this cheer raise a glass to one more year Louise, we're glad that you are here

Outro

The window's clear, the rain has stopped and still you're all the light we need
