M.C. Taylor wrote this song for his young daughter Ione after she said she wanted a song written for her like her brother Elijah had.
[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?
