A year ago tonight
You were sixteen
The sweetest teenage

Queen I've ever seen

A year ago tonight

I let you know
That sixteen candles
In my heart would glow


When you made wish, kid
I was wishing too

That I'd be saying
Happy birthday
Your whole life through


Oh, yeah
A year ago tonight

I kissed you dear
And told you that
I'd be yours

Throughout the years

Now, Father Time

Has proven we were right
Woah, woah, two lovers
Born a year ago tonight

(Tonight, tonight)

When you made wish, kid

I was wishing too
That I'd be saying
Happy birthday

Your whole life through

Oh, a year ago tonight

I kissed you dear
And told you that
I'd be yours

Throughout the years

Now, Father Time

Has proven we were right
Woah, woah, two lovers
Born a year ago tonight

(Tonight, tonight)

Woah, woah, woah

Two lovers born
A year ago tonight
Yeah, yeah

Two lovers born
A year ago tonight
