Lyrics for If I Could

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
