Neil Diamond Happy Birthday, Sweet Sixteen lyrics

Tonight's the night I've waited for
Because you're not a baby anymore
You've turned into the prettiest girl
I've ever seen
Happy birthday, sweet sixteen

What happened to that funny face?
My little tomboy
Now wears satins and lace
I can't believe my eyes
You're just a teenage dream, yeah
Happy birthday, sweet sixteen

When you were only six
You had a big brother
And then when you were ten
You didn't like each other

When you were thirteen
You were a funny valentine
But since you've grown up
Your future is sewn up
From now on you're gonna be fine

So if I should smile with sweet surprise
It's just that you've grown up

Before my very eyes
You've turned into the prettiest girl
I've ever seen, yes
Happy birthday, sweet sixteen

If I should smile with sweet surprise
It's just that you've grown up
Before my very eyes
You've turned into the prettiest girl
I've ever seen, yeah
Happy birthday, sweet sixteen

Happy birthday, sweet sixteen
Sha la la la
Happy birthday, sweet sixteen
Sha la la la
Happy birthday, sweet sixteen

Sha la la la
Happy birthday, sweet sixteen, yeah
Sha la la la
Happy birthday, sweet sixteen
