If I Could lyrics

Song information

Artist: Jack Johnson
Album: In Between Dreams

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
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
