Verse 1
We were just kids, laughing in the sun
Running through days like they’d never be done
Talking ‘bout dreams, staying up all night
You were my calm, you were my light
Pre-Chorus
Every secret, every tear
You’ve been my forever here
Chorus
So here’s to eighteen candles shining bright
Every wish you make is taking flight
Duh-nee-uh, you’ve got a heart of gold
And a story that’s just begun to be told
I’m so proud of who you are today
Wouldn’t trade our memories away
Through every high and every bend
You’ll always be my best friend
Verse 2
From silly jokes to the real-life pain
Dancing in joy, standing in rain
You held me up when I felt low
More than you’ll ever know
Pre-Chorus
Side by side, we found our way
Growing stronger every day
Chorus
So here’s to eighteen candles shining bright
Every wish you make is taking flight
Duh-nee-uh, you’ve got a heart so rare
And a future waiting everywhere
I’m so happy you’re stepping into this year
And I’ll be right beside you, never fear
Through every road that life may send
You’ll always be my best friend
Bridge
This is your moment, your time to shine
The world is yours, and you’ll be just fine
And no matter how far life may take you
There’s nothing in this world that could break you
Final Chorus
So here’s to eighteen candles in the sky
Chasing dreams, learning how to fly
Duh-nee-uh, today’s your special day
And I just needed you to hear me say
I love you in the purest way
Best friends forever, come what may
From now until the very end
You’ll always be my best friend
