[00:03.63]Darling I
[00:05.59]Know we talked about
[00:06.72]It one too many times
[00:09.72]How there was something
[00:10.88]Missing in our lives
[00:15.27]A little life
[00:19.05]So we tried it was more than
[00:21.99]Just a twinkle in your eye
[00:25.15]But some things you
[00:26.01]Just don't get to decide
[00:30.64]At least we tried
[00:34.48]The first casualty of life
[00:36.45]Is the plan
[00:38.51]When I look back
[00:39.46]I'm not even sure that
[00:42.15]We were thinking
[00:46.53]'Cause somewhere
[00:48.56]She's probably dancing
[00:49.92]With her blonde hair
[00:52.51]Falling like ribbons
[00:53.92]On her shoulders
[00:56.84]Just like we always saw
[01:02.14]Bright eyes
[01:04.14]Spinning in circles in the sunlight
[01:07.96]Darling we tried but now it's over
[01:11.87]We had it all and then we lost
[01:16.63]The girl that never was
[01:20.99]If I could say a million words
[01:24.22]To take away the pain
[01:27.15]What kills me is you trying
[01:28.50]To take the blame
[01:32.57]You're not to blame
[01:36.73]I'll never say I told you so
[01:38.83]But sad I've thought the words
[01:40.60]Tried drowning you in happiness
[01:42.48]I only make it worse
[01:44.40]We never should have picked a name
[01:46.46]'Cause now she has a face
[01:48.42]And now no matter what we do
[01:50.32]No one will take her place
[01:52.01]So somewhere
[01:54.43]She's probably dancing
[01:55.85]With her blonde hair
[01:58.28]Falling like ribbons
[01:59.71]On her shoulders
[02:02.65]Just like we always saw
[02:07.95]Bright eyes
[02:09.89]Spinning in circles in the sunlight
[02:13.77]Darling we tried but now it's over
[02:17.69]We had it all and then we lost
[02:22.27]The girl that never was
[02:24.16]I know we'll never know you
[02:27.76]I know we'll never hold you
[02:31.66]I never got to show you my love
[02:38.84]'Cause somewhere
[02:40.86]She's probably dancing
[02:42.29]With her blonde hair
[02:44.67]Falling like ribbons
[02:46.18]On your shoulders
[02:49.11]Just like we always saw
[02:54.61]Bright eyes
[02:56.36]Spinning in circles in the sunlight

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 I 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 will take her place
So 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 your 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
