Well, we only lost one But it was a rock star we only lost one But she was a soccer player we only lost one But he was a philanthropist we only lost one But she was a podiatrist we only lost one But he was a good dad we only lost one But she drove us all mad Well, we only lost one But it should’ve been our first one
As the days go by No matter how hard we cry Nor times we ask why We will never know
Well, we only lost one And we missed all the toys we only lost one And we missed all the stories we only lost one And we missed all the scrapes we only lost one And we missed finger smashed grapes we only lost one And we missed all the laughs we only lost one And we missed all the baths Well, we only lost one And we will try for another one
As the days go by No matter how hard we cry Nor times we ask why We will never know
Well, we only lost one So my heart severely aches we only lost one So tears puddle like lakes we only lost one So this emptiness is real we only lost one So things seem so unclear we only lost one So why does it feel like more? we only lost one So to the sky I roar Well, we only lost one So we hope to meet the next one
As the days go by No matter how hard we cry Nor times we ask why We will never know
