My husband, sir Casey is a huge nerd Daughtry fan. I bought him the newest CD as a surprise last night. He loves it. This morning he sent me a text saying that one of the songs was about a miscarriage. He did some research, and it was written for a friend of Daughtry’s. The lyrics kinda hit me like BOOM. So, I figured I’d post them- because he pretty much wrote my heart out in this song.
“Gone Too Soon”
Today could’ve been the day
that you blow out your candles
make a wish as you close your eyes
Today could’ve been the day
everybody was laughin’
instead I just sit here and cry
Who would you be?
what would you look like
when you looked at me for the very first time?
Today could’ve been the next day of the rest of your life
Not a day goes by that I don’t think of you
I’m always asking why this crazy world had to lose
such a ray of light we never knew
gone too soon, yeah ….
Would you have been president?
or a painter, an author or sing like your mother?
One thing is evident
would’ve given all I had
would’ve loved you like no other
Who would you be?
what would you look like?
would you have my smile and her eyes?
Today could’ve been the next day of the rest of your life
Not a day goes by that I don’t think of you
I’m always asking why this crazy world had to lose
such a ray of light we never knew
gone too soon.
Not a day goes by that I don’t think of you
I’m always asking why this crazy world had to lose
such a beautiful life we never knew
gone too soon
you were gone too soon…
and not a day goes by
that I don’t think of you.

Hugs, lots and lots and lots of hugs. I know all too well that there just aren't words. Well, there are words. Tons of well meant, but still hurtful words. There just aren't words that allow us to unknow what we know.
And there are days of tears. Days of wine and cookie dough. Lots of them.
Just hugs
I love your blog! 🙂 I became a follower! 🙂 Erin
Aw, that's really touching. And so very true. I had two miscarriages between our 2nd and 3rd sons. They were years ago now, but I still remember that strange feeling – how the world just keeps on turning even though, for you, it stopped.
