Dear son, we've been waiting for you   Thrilled beside ourselves that you've arrived   White coats came in, heads held low   Talked for a bit, shuffled outside      We closed the curtains,   Held each other,   And cried   We said hello at the same time that we said goodbye.      And smallest wingless, oh you came to us   Leaving as soon as you'd arrived   But sadness is just love wasted   With no heart to place it inside      We closed the curtains,   Held each other,   And cried   We said hello at the same time that we said goodbye.      We closed the curtains   Held on to one another   And cried   We said hello at the same time that we said goodbye.
