Lyrics
Darling I know we talked about it one too many times.
How there was something missing in our lives.
A little life.
So we tried. It was more than just a twinkle in your eye.
But some things you just don’t get to decide.
At least we tried.
The first casualty of life is the plan.
When I look back I’m not even sure that,
We were thinking.
Cause somewhere,
She’s probably dancing with her blonde hair.
Falling like ribbons on her shoulders,
Just like we always saw.
Bright eyes,
Spinning in circles in the sunlight.
Darling, we tried but now it’s over.
We had it all and then we lost,
The girl that never was.
If could say a million words to take away the pain.
What kills me is you trying to take the blame.
You’re not to blame.
I’ll never say I told you so,
But sad I’ve thought the words.
Tried drowning you in happiness.
I only make it worse.
We never should have picked a name,
Cause now she has a face.
And now no matter what we do,
No one’ll take her place.
Cause somewhere,
She’s probably dancing with her blonde hair.
Falling like ribbons on her shoulders,
Just like we always saw.
Bright eyes,
Spinning in circles in the sunlight.
Darling, we tried but now it’s over.
We had it all and then we lost,
The girl that never was.
I know we’ll never know you.
I know we’ll never hold you
I never got to show you my love.
Cause somewhere,
She’s probably dancing with her blonde hair.
Falling like ribbons on her shoulders,
Just like we always saw.
Bright eyes,
Spinning in circles in the sunlight.
Darling, we tried but now it’s over.
We had it all and then we lost,
The girl that never was.

❤eternamente fã dele é show
😢a música também mostra que as pessoas sofrem quando perdem um bebê um sonho que foi enterrompido
This is as much of a tear jerker as the one you wrote about your Dad when you thought you might lose him 😢 such a talented song writer, so sorry you and your family have been through this. Hugs to you all
😢 the baby that never was….
Wow, this song hits hard in so many ways
I lost our baby a few months back after trying for years, it was my first round of IVF & we was so over the moon when it worked & then I lost the baby. We was devastated. Iv just been today for my second embryo transfer & have been feeling sad & guilty all morning that I can’t be excited for this one because of missing the last one & the fear that comes with it all this time & as soon as I got in the car after coming out the clinic this song came on the radio, it’s the first time iv heard it & I instantly burst into tears. What a beautiful song & even though sad has bought me comfort today xx
Holy shit…. this is so beautifully sad. Thank you for sharing this song, this moment, this pain with us.
When hear this song always make me sad😢😢😢 feel blow my heart
The true definition of Timeless. This song he nailed it. Let the lyrics echoed in the sands of time forever.
Very beautiful song indeed 👌 ❤️
Oi meu amor infinito você é incrivel com essa essência doce. ❤eu te amo infinito ❤jamesblunt
Thankyou James, You have bought my little girl to life through your song.. xxxx
Desde Venezuela❤ con ganas de que algún día pueda venir para acá 😥
Pero para solo mandan reggaetoneros 😒
JB is a masterpiece delivering masterpieces
