[Verse 1]
You’re waking up to ocean air
Sun on your hair in San Juan light
I’m here in Tuscaloosa
Counting down ’til you’re back in my sight
Miami made you hurricanes strong
Now you’re dancing through a birthday sky
Four best friends and a weekend bag
And I’m the boy who wishes I could fly
[Chorus]
Happy birthday in Puerto Rico
From this quiet Alabama room
I’m a thousand miles of sky away
But my heart’s right there with you (oh yeah)
Blow those candles
Make your wishes
Save one little wish for me
Happy birthday
My Sofia
You’re the home I never wanna leave
[Verse 2]
Send me pictures from the beach
Laughing hard in the hotel hall
I’ll be here
Bragging ’bout you
Telling everyone you’ve got it all
Next year we’ll be side by side
Planning where we’re gonna go
But tonight I’m on this phone screen
Typing out what you already know
[Chorus]
Happy birthday in Puerto Rico
From this quiet Alabama room
I’m a thousand miles of sky away
But my heart’s right there with you (hey)
Blow those candles
Make your wishes
Save one little wish for me
Happy birthday
My Sofia
You’re the home I never wanna leave
[Bridge]
Twenty-seven candles shining
Every year just fits you more
When you land back here in T-town
I’ll be waiting at your door (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
Happy birthday in Puerto Rico
From this quiet Alabama room
I’m a thousand miles of sky away
But my heart’s right there with you
Blow those candles
Make your wishes
Then come run back to my arms
Happy birthday
My Sofia
From afar
Still safe in my heart
