WHY, BABY GIRL?
What happened Baby Girl? Why did you go?
The joy we expected, why wasn't it so?
This doesn't seem real, how can it be true?
How could your Daddy and I have lost you?
Wanted so badly, right from the start
Loved so much, with all of our hearts
I longed to hold you before Daddy and I met
Our cuddles, though brief, I will never forget
Never in all of my wildest dreams
Such a heartbreaking loss could I have foreseen
So close to meeting you, yet now you are gone
It's hard to imagine that life can go on
When you never drew breath, such a tragic waste
Of a beautiful soul with a beautiful face
Why did this nightmare ever unfold?
Baby Girl, you weren't even a second old
Heaven was missing an Angel so fine
It could only be righted by God taking mine
But I miss you sweetheart, why can't you come home?
Can't you see we need you? We're no good alone
Daddy and I need to hold your hand
Need to kiss your cheeks, don't you understand?
I cry tears for the fact that you'll never cry
That I'll never comfort you with a sweet lullaby
I need you to breathe, need your heart to beat
I need to hear the patter of your tiny feet
But none of these things will ever come true
You were gone too soon, I can never have you
My dreams have been shattered, gone is my hope
The future is bleak, please help me to cope
This grief that I carry, I wish it would go
But I love you Baby Girl, and I miss you so
