Lyrics:

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

that didnt sound so good

The doctor gave him two weeks to live

Id 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 helped ease the mind

of this, my old friend

And though you gotta go

we'll keep a piece of your soul

What goes out

What goes in



You know that I would now

If only I could

You know that I would now

If only I could
