    Mm

    I found out in the fall I've been gone
    On the road for a year
    She said,
    "Honey, I've got real bad news" and
    Then there were just tears
    And we would never be the same again
    Since then I've often wondered
    What you might have been like
    How it would have felt to hold you,
    Would you have my eyes?
    Don't you think we would've been best friends?

    You would be ten and I'd be
    Driving you to school
    You would tell all your friends
    That you thought I was cool
    And you would have
    All the love in my heart
    Yeah, you would have
    All the love in my heart

    We were twenty-two years young then
    Breaking rules all around
    We were
    Moving in that first apartment
    It felt like it was never gonna end
    Both so lost and crazy
    We were young so we ran
    Now I live in a dream where I am
    Holding your little hands
    I never got to meet you, my best friend

    You would be ten and I'd be
    Driving you to school
    You would tell all your friends
    That you thought I was cool
    You would be out in the sun
    Until it was gone
    You would be watching Star Wars
    With your PJ's on
    And you would have
    All the love in my heart
    Yeah, you would have
    All the love in my heart

    Mm
    Mm

    Don't you think we would have been best friends?

    You would be ten and I'd be
    Driving you to school
    You would tell all your friends
    That you thought I was cool
    You would be out in the sun
    Until it was gone
    You would be watching Star Wars
    With your PJ's on
    You would be playing tunes on
    On your first guitar
    You would be harmony to
    Every single part of me
    And you have
    All the love in my heart
    Yeah, you would have
    All the love in my heart

    Mm
