My birthday candles have all gone out
Bm                      E7   A G       F# 
The party's through and I'm alone with you 
D                        Em   A  
What a nice way to turn seventeen

I feel your sweet lips against my cheek

My friends all bought me so many gifts

But yours is the one I'm proudest of

A golden heart inscribed to me

"Happy birthday with all my love" 

It feels like heaven here in your arms 
Don't let me go, 'cause gee, I love, oh I love you so 
What a nice way to turn seventeen 
I'm seventeen
