A brand new baby was born yesterday, Just in time Papa cried, baby cried Said, your tears are like mine 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
You know that I would now If only I could You know that I would now If only I could
Down the middle drops one more grain of sand They say that new life makes losing life easier to understand Words are kind they help ease the mind I miss my old friend And though you gotta go we'll keep a piece of your soul One goes out One comes in
You know that I would now If only I could You know that I would now If only I could
