**[Verse 1]**  
Northside Hospital, lights low like a sunrise  
I held you close, and the whole world got quiet  
So small in my arms, but you filled up the room  
A bundle of joy, my forever-new truth  
I didn’t know my heart could open that wide  
Then you looked up—yeah, that’s when my life changed overnight  

**[Pre-Chorus]**  
And every year you’ve grown  
You’ve been finding your own glow  
But I still see that moment  
Like it’s playing in slow mo.  

**[Chorus]**  
Happy Birthday, **Zaza** (ZahZah), listen to me  
I’m so proud of who you are and who you’re gonna be  
From your first little breath to your biggest dreams  
I’m right here, right here, always on your team  
So make a wish, let the candles light your eyes  
No matter where you go, my love will never cease to thrive —**Zaza**  

**[Verse 2]**  
Waffle House morning, neon hum, blue booth  
You’re swinging your feet, telling me what you’re gonna do  
I cut your waffle up, you smiled like it was magic  
Little moments like that—yeah, they hit me and I can’t ignore it  
Now you’re stronger, smarter, saying what you mean  
And I’m watching you shine like you were born for the big screen  

**[Pre-Chorus]**  
You’re writing your own song  
And I’m singing right along  
Even when you don’t hear it  
My heart is singing your song. 

**[Chorus]**  
Happy Birthday, **Zaza** (ZahZah), listen to me  
I’m so proud of who you are and who you’re gonna be  
From your first little breath to your biggest dreams  
I’m right here, right here, always on your team  
So make a wish, let the candles light your eyes  
No matter where you go, my love will never cease to thrive. —**Zaza**  

**[Bridge]**  
If the world gets heavy, if the days get loud  
Come back to my voice, I’ll say it out loud  
You don’t have to earn it, you don’t have to try  
It’s yours for forever, it’s in every “I”  
I—love—you, more than words can hold  
And I’ll be your home when the night feels cold  

**[Final Chorus]**  
Happy Birthday, **Zaza** (ZahZah), listen to me  
I’m so proud of who you are and who you’re gonna be  
From Northside to now, you’re my masterpiece  
And I’ll never miss a beat when you need me  
So make a wish, let the candles light your life  
No matter where you go, my love is your light. —**Zaza**  
My love will never fade away. —**Zaza**
