Happy Birthday Sweet Sixteen - by Neil Sedaka
Tra la-la-la-la la-la-la-la, Happy birthday sweet sixteen.
Tra la-la-la-la la-la-la-la, Happy birthday sweet sixteen.
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.
Happy birthday sweet sixteen.
When you were only six I was your big brother.
Then when a you were ten we didn't like each other.
When you were thirteen You was a funny valentine.
But since you've grown up Your future is sewn up.
From now on you're gonna be mine, 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.
Happy birthday sweet sixteen.
REPEAT LAST VERSE.
Tra la-la-la-la la-la-la-la.
Happy birthday sweet sixteen.
Tra la-la-la-la la-la-la-la.
Happy birthday sweet sixteen.
FADE: Tra la-la-la-la la-la-la-la.
Happy birthday sweet sixteen.

Happy Birthday Katie!
Grandma tried to get hi-tech with the music and lyrics, but it didn't work so I just copied and pasted the lyrics from the olden days when grandma was a youngster!!! I hope you have a memorable day and being sixteen is great fun. You will always remember turning 16 because that seems to elevate our minds to being grown up! We love you Katie! Katie is our oldest grandchild and missed her dad's birthday by one day. That is okay Katie because Grandpa Donnie did the same thing!

OK...that made Katie's mom cry! Thanks Donna. You also need to let everyone know that Katie is your oldest grandchild and that she was ALMOST born on her dad's birthday.
