  Verse 1

  You left three plates on a bench Foil wrapper caught in the breeze We're licking frosting off every finger Still laughing, still weak in the knees

  Pre-chorus

  Somebody grab a fork and a glass Somebody count the years gone by We're not done yet, this party won't pass

  Chorus

  Vincent, light up this old town Everybody here convinced We've never seen a smile so loud Since Vincent, since then, since

  Verse 2

  You blew the candles clean off the top Wax on the tablecloth like snow Nobody wanted this day to stop Nobody wanted you to go

  Chorus

  Vincent, light up this old town Everybody here convinced We've never seen a smile so loud Since Vincent, since then, since

  Bridge

  Raise your cups, hold them high Sing it loud, don't hold it in This is your day, don't ask why Just grin, Vincent, just grin

  Chorus

  Vincent, light up this old town Everybody here convinced We've never seen a smile so loud Since Vincent, since then, since

  Outro

  Someone will clear those plates away But not the joy you left on this day

  Verse 1

  Window's fogged up, sugar in the air Pastries glowing gold beneath the glare You walk in laughing, shake the rain off Whole room lightens, we don't know why we care

  Pre-chorus

  Something in you warms the room like this Steam on glass and we can't resist So light the candle, make a wish

  Chorus

  Vincent, Vincent, sweet as frosting Every year we're never losing Draw your name here on the window Vincent, this is worth the crossing

  Verse 2

  Fingerprint left on the misted pane You trace a heart then start again Nobody else could make this ordinary Feel like sunshine breaking through the rain

  Chorus

  Vincent, Vincent, sweet as frosting Every year we're never losing Draw your name here on the window Vincent, this is worth the crossing

  Bridge

  Pass the pastries, pour the tea You're the reason we all agree Clink the cups up, make some noise Glad you're here for us to see

  Chorus

  Vincent, Vincent, sweet as frosting Every year we're never losing Draw your name here on the window Vincent, this is worth the crossing

  Outro

  Steam will clear but you're the part that stays We'll wipe the glass and still see your name

  Verse 1

  You kicked the chalk dust into the air You laughed like nothing could bring you down Every step you took was a dare You were the best thing in that whole town

  Chorus

  Vincent, Vincent, light up the yard Grab every hand and pull us all in Nobody dances quite so hard Happy birthday, Vincent, let the party begin

  Verse 2

  Yellow balloons still bob on that gate Same as the year that we first met you Some things get better the longer they wait Like knowing a friend who always gets you

  Pre-chorus

  Count every candle, count every year Someone's pouring, someone's grinning ear to ear The whole room's leaning in to hear

  Chorus

  Vincent, Vincent, light up the yard Grab every hand and pull us all in Nobody dances quite so hard Happy birthday, Vincent, let the party begin

  Bridge

  Since then we've watched you grow and glow Steady as chalk lines under our feet You're the one we always want to know The reason this whole street feels complete

  Chorus

  Vincent, Vincent, light up the yard Grab every hand and pull us all in Nobody dances quite so hard Happy birthday, Vincent, let the party begin

  Outro

  The balloons will drift, the chalk will fade But you're the joy that never sways
