If I could
A brand new baby was born yesterdayJust in timePapa cried, baby criedSaid "Your tears are like mine"I heard some wordsFrom a friend on the phoneThat didn't sound so goodThe doctor gave him two weeks to liveI'd give him more if I could
You know that I would nowIf only I couldYou know that I would nowIf only I could
Down the middle drops one moreGrain of sandThey say thatNew life makes losing life easier to understandWords are kindThey helped ease the mindI'll miss my old friendAnd though you gotta goWe'll keep a piece of your soulOne goes outOne comes in
You know that I would nowIf only I couldYou know that I would nowIf only I could
