Song 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 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 helped ease the mind,
I'll miss my old friend,
And though you gotta go,
we'll keep a piece of your soul,
One goes out, one goes in

You know that I would now
If only I could,
You know that I would now
If only I could
