0:03Darling I
0:05Know we talked about it one too many times
0:09How there was something missing in our lives
0:15A little life
0:19So we tried
0:21It was more than just a twinkle in your eye
0:25But some things you just don't get to decide
0:30At least we tried
0:34The first casualty of life is the plan
0:38When I look back I'm not even sure that
0:42We were thinking
0:46Somewhere
0:48She's probably dancing with her blonde hair
0:52Falling like ribbons on her shoulders
0:56Just like we always saw
1:02Bright eyes
1:04Spinning in circles in the sunlight
1:07Darling we tried but now it's over
1:11We had it all and then we lost
1:16The girl that never was
1:21If I could say
1:23A million words to take away the pain
1:27What kills me is you trying to take the blame
1:32You're not to blame
1:36I'll never say I told you so
1:38But sad I've thought the words
1:40Tried drowning you in happiness
1:42I only make it worse
1:44We never should've picked a name
1:46'Cause now she has a face
1:48And now no matter what we do
1:50No one will take her place
1:52Somewhere
1:54She's probably dancing with her blonde hair
1:58Falling like ribbons on her shoulders
2:02Just like we always saw
2:08Bright eyes
2:09Spinning in circles in the sunlight
2:13Darling we tried but now it's over
2:17We had it all and then we lost
2:22The girl that never was
2:23I know we'll never know you
2:27I know we'll never hold you
2:31I never got to show you
2:34My love
2:38'Cause somewhere
2:40You're probably dancing with your blonde hair
2:44Falling like ribbons on your shoulders
2:49Just like we always saw
2:54Bright eyes
2:56Spinning in circles in the sunlight
3:00Darling we tried but now it's over
3:04We had it all and then we lost
3:08The girl that never was
