The Girl That Never Was

Darlin', I know we talked about it one too many times How there was somethin' missin' in our lives A little life So we tried, it was more than just a twinkle in your eye But some things you just don't get to decide At least we tried The first casualty of life is the plan When I look back, I'm not even sure that We were thinkin' Somewhere She's probably dancing with her blonde hair Falling like ribbons on her shoulders Just like we always saw Bright eyes Spinnin' in circles in the sunlight Darling, we tried, but now it's over We had it all, and then we lost The girl that never was If I could say a million words to take away the pain What kills me is you tryin' to take the blame You're not to blame I'll never say I told you so, but sad I've thought the words Tried drownin' you in happiness, I only make it worse We never should've picked a name, 'cause now she has a face And now no matter what we do, no one will take her place Somewhere She's probably dancing with her blonde hair Falling like ribbons on her shoulders Just like we always saw Bright eyes Spinnin' in circles in the sunlight Darling, we tried, but now it's over We had it all, and then we lost The girl that never was I know we'll never know you I know we'll never hold you I never got to show you my love 'Cause somewhere You're probably dancing with your blonde hair Falling like ribbons on your shoulders Just like we always saw Bright eyes Spinnin' in circles in the sunlight Darling, we tried, but now it's over We had it all, and then we lost The girl that never was
