Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A brand new baby
Was born yesterday
Just in time
Papa cried, baby cried
Said, your tears are like mine
[Verse 2]
I heard some words
From a friend on the phone
Didn't sound so good
The doctor gave him
Two weeks to live
I'd give him more
If I could
[Verse 3]
You know that I would now
If only I could
You know that I would now
If only I could
[Verse 4]
Down the middle drops one more
Grain of sand
They say that
New life makes losing life
Easier to understand
[Verse 5]
Words are kind
They help ease the mind
I'll miss my old friend
And though you gotta go
We'll keep a piece of your soul
One goes out
One comes in
[Verse 6]
You know that I would now
If only I could
You know that I would now
If only I could
