You’re just a small bump unborn, in four months you’re brought to life,

You might be left with my hair, but you’ll have your mother’s eyes

I’ll hold your body in my hands, be as gentle as I can,

But now you’re scan of my unmade plans

A small bump in four months you’re brought to life

A small bump in four months you’ll open your eyes

 

I’ll whisper quietly, I’ll give you nothing but truth

I’ll hold you tightly, I’ll give you nothing but truth

If you’re not inside me, I’ll put my future in you

 

You are my one and only

You can wrap your fingers round my thumb and hold me tight

Oh, you are my one and only

You can wrap your fingers round my thumb and hold me tight

And you’ll be alright

 

Oh, you’re just a small bump unknown, you’ll grow into your skin

With a smile like hers and a dimple beneath your chin

Fingernails the size of half a grain of rice

And eyelids closed to be soon opened wide

A small bump, in four months you’ll open your eyes

 

And I’ll hold you tightly, I’ll tell you nothing but truth

And I’ll hold you tightly, I’ll give you nothing but truth

If you’re not inside me, I’ll put my future in you

 

You are my one and only

You can wrap your fingers round my thumb and hold me tight

You are my one and only

You can wrap your fingers round my thumb and hold me tight

And you’ll be alright

 

And you can lie with me

With your tiny feet

When you’re half asleep

I’ll leave you be

Right in front of me

For a couple weeks

So I can keep you safe

 

‘Cause you are my one and only

You can wrap your fingers round my thumb and hold me tight

You are my one and only

You can wrap your fingers round my thumb and hold me tight

And you’ll be alright

 

‘Cause you were just a small bump, unborn for four months then torn from life

Maybe you were needed up there, but we’re still unaware as why
