Lyrics

[Verse 1] Happy birthday, baby Go love your brother now It's a strange gift maybe Girl, you know me better Than I know myself [Verse 2] I'm trying to repay you For all these miles that I roam When I'm far away, baby Know that I love you And sing this little song [Chorus] One: Was a lonely number Two: You were born in thunder Three: It was lightning quick You lit up the house like a matchstick Four: Child, you're a wonder Held me tight when the world went under Five: Sweet Ione, can I tell you I love you? [Verse 3] Happy birthday, baby Go love your mama now I guess we better face it I'm a lonely swimmer a long, long way from shore [Verse 4] Shall I tell the story Like there's only one to tell? And when you think of me Think of me better Than I think of myself [Chorus] One: Was a lonely number Two: You were born in thunder Three: It was lightning quick You lit up the house like a matchstick Four: Child, you're a wonder Held me tight when the world went under Five: Sweet Ione, can I tell you I love you?
