My heart cries out, My eyes won't dry
These were the ones I couldn't keep
Called home from God to be at rest
Comforted because He knows what's best
Maybe I'll see them when I'm asleep
Watch them smile, hear them cry
These were the ones I couldn't keep
Filled with joy that was taken too soon
Replaced with the ache of an empty womb
I knew right away, a feeling down deep
I would never kiss your face, or your toes
You were the ones I couldn't keep
