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!
