Lyrics
Barbara, maybe we should go. I mean, we’ve already lost so much Adam, we never got the chance to lose anything (sung) Children we didn’t have don't call Their heights aren't marked in pencil on the wall They don’t ride bikes, cry out at night Or falling graze a knee And their arms will never reach For the mother I never got to be Children we didn’t have press in Remind me that we couldn’t just begin They laugh on swings, wish for things I’m not supposed to know And they never stop to see, the mother that never was That’s me Think about all the children we didn’t have Picture them playing in our life Look at them deep in thought Think of their face when caught doing something naughty Now picturing them three or four Picture them walking out the door Picture them twenty or thirty or forty Or maybe fifteen, I think you know who I mean A daughter we didn’t have, moved in Smart and sad, uneasy in her skin Far too young to lose a mom Or take the path she’s travelling on If I could whisper in her ear, and tell her “Daughter we didn’t have, I’m here”
