my sweet little babe
who was never even mine
i never saw your face
i never heard your cry
my sweet little babe
i guess it wasn't time
and so i had to let the hope of you
whither
and die
my sweet sweet babe
you would have been so loved
i would have tried so hard
to really be enough
you were a spark of light
in the pitch black dark
and when you left
the way it broke my heart
but like i said
it wasn't time
so i'll wait in the dark
now empty,
now blind
my sweet little babe
if i could carry you again
i'd never question you
the way that i did then
