Don't you ever lose your smile
Don't let them fade away style
When a birthday comes around another year
And don't belive in what they say

About how beauty goes away
You are still something beautiful today
Oh if you let the river take your soul
You will never be too old
'Cause when your birthday comes around
You'll be free
Don't you ever lose your sheen
If your soul's still seventeen
'Cause in a heart nothing will ever change your dreams
So live for nothing but today
Don't let time push you away
So greet the gentle holiday
With another candle burning away
Happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday, to you
Just when you think your birthday comes around
And you're wishing all the clocks were down
And when you start to get the blues
For too many happy birthdays to you
Oh don't you ever lose that smile
Don't let time take your style
And when a birthday comes around
It's just another year
And don't belive what they say
About how beauty goes away
You are still something beautiful today
So let the river watch your soul
And you will never be too old
'Cause when a birthday comes
You're gonna be free
And don't you ever lose your sheen
'Cause your soul is still seventeen
'Cause in the heart nothing changes our dreams
So go on and live for today
Don't let time push you away
And greet this gentle holiday as just another candle burning away
Happy birthday, happy birthday happy birthday to you
