Happy birthday, baby Go love your brother now It's a strange gift maybe Girl, you know me better than I know myself 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 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 - sweetheart, only can I tell you I love you? Happy birthday, baby Go love your mama now Well I guess we'd better face it I'm a lonely swimmer a long, long way from shore 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 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 - sweetheart, only can I tell you I love you?
