Lyrics
If I Could
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
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
You know that I would now
If only I could
