EIGHT CANDLES
EIGHT CANDLES; NOT A ONE BURNING
UNTIL THAT DAY EACH ONE WAS LIT
EIGHT CANDLES; NOT A ONE YEARNING
UPON THE CAKE WHERE THEY SIT
EACH ONE IS DIFFERENT IN IT'S SIZE
BIG, TALL, SMALL AND THIN
BUT EACH ONE BRINGS A BIG SURPRISE
EACH ONE HAS A MAGICAL GRIN
BLUE,GREEN,REDWHITE
THEY TURN DARKNESS INTO LIGHT
THE CANDLES NEVER, EVER BLINK
EACH CANDLE PLACE PERFECTLY ON THE CAKE
AMONG THEMSELVES THEY TALK
WAITING FOR THE BIRTHDAY BOY TO WAKE
UPON THE CAKE THEY WALK
HAPPY BIRTHDAY THEY HEAR THEM YELL
EIGHT CANDLES ALL WORKED OUT
ONE BY ONE EACH CANDLE FELL
EIGHT CANDLES ALL BLOWN OUT
