Happy Birthday, Baby

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?
