Seventeen candles burn so bright.
Voices meld together in celebratory song.
My head fills with so many thoughts.
What in the world should I wish for?
So many things for which I have dreamed...
But the only thing I really want is you.
That's all I've wanted from the very first.
But, afraid to even dare hope that
Such a dream could possibly be realized,
I wish instead for luck in love,
Still hoping that luck might someday include you.
