Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Eighteen candles On your cake this year You walk in smiling Pulling Nathan near I see the promise In the way you shine From this moment You’re a part of mine [Chorus] Happy birthday Emily Welcome to our crazy Loving family You’re the answer to a prayer he never said out loud Hand in hand with my brave Stubborn Nathan We’re so thankful for the life you’re making With our marine and with us You belong here now (you belong here now) [Verse 2] I know the distance When he has to go Long late phone calls Whispers soft and low You hold his picture Like you hold his heart Your strength and kindness Win me from the start [Chorus] Happy birthday Emily Welcome to our crazy Loving family You’re the answer to a prayer he never said out loud Hand in hand with my brave Stubborn Nathan We’re so thankful for the life you’re making With our marine and with us You belong here now (you belong here now) [Bridge] One more seat at Sunday dinner One more laugh around the room One more daughter I can cherish In every season Every June If you ever feel uncertain Or the road feels rough to see You will never walk it lonely You will always have our love And me [Chorus] Happy birthday Emily Welcome to our crazy Loving family You’re the answer to a prayer he never said out loud Hand in hand with my brave Stubborn Nathan We’re so thankful for the life you’re making With our marine and with us You belong here now You belong to this wild Grateful family now

Warm acoustic pop ballad with female vocals; gentle picked guitar and soft piano under intimate verses, light percussion and airy pads lifting the chorus. Subtle backing “oohs” on hooks, tempo in a relaxed midrange so every word feels heartfelt. Final chorus blooms with stacked harmonies and a held, emotional last note., happy
