Lyrics

If I Could

[Verse 1]

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 doctors gave him two weeks to live, I'd give him more if I could

[Hook]

You know that I would now

If only I could

You know that I would now

If only I could

[Verse 2]

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'll miss my old friend

And though you've got to go we'll keep a piece of your soul

One goes out, one comes in

[Hook]

You know that I would now

If only I could

You know that I would now

If only I could
