Lyrics
The Number
By Daryl Stevenett
(Verse 1)
Son, come sit down on my knee
I want you to know, you mean the world to me
If something happens or ever goes wrong
Remember this number just sing this little song
(Chorus)
(357 1411) if your ever lost or feeling all alone
(357 1411) it’s the number, that will always get you home
(Verse 2)
He’d been missing since noon when the telephone rang
The sergeant said they found him wandering lost on main
He’s ok, he’s still singing some little song
He said this number, we’ll get him home before too long
(Chorus)
(357 1411) if your ever lost or feeling all alone
(357 1411) it’s the number, that will always get you home
(Bridge)
A one in a million chance the doctor said
I just stood with our little boy beside her bed
When he leaned in, took her hand, and whispered mom
Everything’s gonna be alright I’m gonna teach you a little song
(Chorus/outro)
(357 1411) if your ever lost or feeling all alone
(357 1411) it’s the number, that will always get you home
with this number you can always come back home
