[00:03.82]Darling I
[00:05.73]Know we talked about it one too many times
[00:09.69]How there was something missing in our lives
[00:15.31]A little life
[00:19.09]So we tried
[00:21.07]It was more than just a twinkle in your eye
[00:25.15]But some things you just don’t get to decide
[00:30.78]At least we tried
[00:34.60]The first casualty of life is the plan
[00:38.53]When I look back I’m not even sure that
[00:42.18]We were thinking
[00:46.74]Somewhere
[00:48.60]She’s probably dancing with her blonde hair
[00:52.40]Falling like ribbons on her shoulders
[00:56.74]Just like we always saw
[01:02.24]Bright eyes
[01:04.04]Spinning in circles in the sunlight
[01:07.85]Darling we tried but now it’s over
[01:11.82]We had it all and then we lost
[01:16.53]The girl that never was
[01:21.00]If I could say
[01:23.22]A million words to take away the pain
[01:27.03]What kills me is you trying to take the blame
[01:32.49]You’re not to blame
[01:36.82]I’ll never say I told you so
[01:38.85]But sad I’ve thought the words
[01:40.55]Tried drowning you in happiness
[01:42.54]I only make it worse
[01:44.46]We never should’ve picked a name
[01:46.57]’Cause now she has a face
[01:48.40]And now no matter what we do
[01:50.34]No one will take her place
[01:52.44]Somewhere
[01:54.47]She’s probably dancing with her blonde hair
[01:58.17]Falling like ribbons on her shoulders
[02:02.64]Just like we always saw
[02:08.20]Bright eyes
[02:09.88]Spinning in circles in the sunlight
[02:13.70]Darling we tried but now it’s over
[02:17.59]We had it all and then we lost
[02:22.52]The girl that never was
[02:23.94]I know we’ll never know you
[02:27.97]I know we’ll never hold you
[02:31.61]I never got to show you
[02:34.54]My love
[02:38.78]’Cause somewhere
[02:40.76]You’re probably dancing with your blonde hair
[02:44.63]Falling like ribbons on your shoulders
[02:49.21]Just like we always saw
[02:54.50]Bright eyes
[02:56.29]Spinning in circles in the sunlight
[03:00.13]Darling we tried but now it’s over
[03:04.07]We had it all and then we lost
[03:08.86]The girl that never was
