The ones I couldn't keep

Alone in my sorrow, I can't help but weep
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
