When your mother told me - Someone new was on the way A little one to bring home - started planning right away You jumped into my heart right there - I remember the night I held your mother close I kissed away a tear from her eye. Time stood still - as the words came over the phone She said that that something's not right - Please come so I'm not alone The doctor said our girl was broken they could see inside Shattered and helpless - Hoping for miracle ride Can you survive - My sweet Nellie I will be here - Waiting for you I feel you inside - My sweet Baby I will be here On the day that we met you - never saw you open your eyes Your body wasn't ready to - Endure the cold world outside I whispered my words and held your body close to mine Helpless and heartbroken couldn't say goodbye. Can you survive - My sweet Nellie I will be here - Waiting for you I feel you inside - My sweet Baby I will be here - Waiting for you
