Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This is why we won't delay
For your birthday
Secrets that we held that day
Will be kept straight
[Verse 2]
All your friends have gone away
So let's celebrate
You're holding hope open for the one, making you wait
[Verse 3]
Tell me what you hope to say
On your birthday
Secrets that we held that day
Will be kept straight
[Verse 4]
Everyone will be dismayed
If your promise breaks
But you'll be back again to say
Who you want next
[Chorus]
Lights and music
Are on my mind
Be my baby
One more time
[Chorus]
Lights and music
Are on my mind
Be my baby
One more time
[Verse 5]
Fading with the colour, you
See in my face
Cold and crystal you can't hide
As your tears race
[Verse 6]
I'll be waiting by in time
Put your dreams away
You're holding hope, open for the one
Making you wait
[Chorus]
Lights and music
Are on my mind
Be my baby
One more time
[Chorus]
Lights and music
Are on my mind
Be my baby
One more time
