not posted on BB forums for ages but I literally just heard this song on the radio and wanted to share it with you. It's so beautiful and expresses a Daddy's uncomprehending grief with such dignity and gentleness. It sent a tingle down my spine and a tear down my cheek. check it out on you-tube. Ed Sheeran - Small Bump Lyrics - YouTube
"Small Bump" by Ed Sheeran
[Verse 1:]
You were just a Small Bump unborn, Four months then brought to life,
You might be left with my hair, but you'll have your Mother's eyes,
I'll hold your body in my hands be as gentle as I can, and now you're scan of my unmade plans,
Small bump in four months, you'll open your eyes.
[Bridge:]
I'll hold you tightly, I'll give you nothing but truth,
If your not inside me, I'll put my future in you
[Chorus:]
Cause you are my one, and only.
You can wrap your fingers round my thumb and hold me tight.
Oh you are my one, and only.
You can wrap your fingers round my thumb and hold me tight.
And you'll be alright.
[Verse 2:]
Your just a small bump unknown and you'll grow into your skin.
With a smile like hers and a dimple beneath your chin.
(Oh) Finger nails the size of a half grain of rice.
And eyelids closed to be soon opened wide a small bump, in Four months you'll open your eyes.
[Bridge:]
I'll hold you tightly, I'll give you nothing but truth,
If your not inside me, I'll put my future in you
[Chorus:]
Cause you are my one, and only.
You can wrap your fingers round my thumb and hold me tight.
Oh you are my one, and only.
You can wrap your fingers round my thumb and hold me tight.
And you'll be alright.
[Verse 3:]
You can lie with me, with your tiny feet when your half asleep, I'll leave you be.
Right in front of me for a couple weeks.
So I can keep you safe.
[Chorus:]
Cause you are my one, and only.
You can wrap your fingers round my thumb and hold me tight.
Oh you are my one, and only.
You can wrap your fingers round my thumb and hold me tight.
And you'll be alright.
[Verse 4:]
Your just a small bump unborn just four months then torn from life.
Maybe you were needed up there but we're still un-aware as why.
