I 
A brand new baby was born yesterday 
          II 
Just in time 
I 
Papa cried, baby cried 
                          II 
Said your tears are like mine 
I 
I heard some words 
From a friend on the phone 
                     II 
That didnt sound so good 
I 
The doctor gave him two weeks to live 
            III            IV 
Id give him more if I could 
                      IV 
You know that I would now 
                IV 
If only I could 
                      IV 
You know that I would now 
            I 
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
