You were 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 for now you're scan of my unmade plans

Small bump four months you are brought to life

And I'll whisper quietly

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

You're just a small bump I know

You'll grow into your skin

With a smile like hers

And a dimple beneath your chin

Finger nails the size of a half grain of rice

And eyelids closed 'till they soon opened wide a small bump

In four months you'll open your eyes

[Pre-Chorus]

And I'll hold you tightly

And tell 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

This is my favourite. Last verse always makes me cry. It's about "a close friend" of his who had a miscarriage and I know it's written in first person BUT IT WASN'T ED'S BABY!!! I just think this one is sooo sad and the reason I love Ed so much is not all his songs are about romance, some are hard core depressing subjects, love it!
