Kids We Never Had

Seventeen, you and me, we had it figured out

We were gonna be the king and queen of this little town

We'd get married in your uncle's church

You'd go to school, I'd go to work

And life would be just like we dreamed about

I bet our daughter would've smiled just like your mama

And our boy would have those eyes just like my dad

I know it ain't work out but sometimes I think about

Those kids we never had

That little girl would be my world and our son would be your moon

They'd be holding hands when they got off the bus each afternoon

I'd be buying dolls and baseball gloves, sweeping LEGO pieces up

And crawling into bed each night with you

I bet our daughter would've had my sense of humor

And our boy would know just how to make you laugh

I know it ain't work out but sometimes I think about

Those kids we never had

And I'd give anything to meet them

But I'll never get the chance

To hug our son when he graduates from college

Or give our baby girl that first dance with her dad

I know it ain't work out but sometimes I think about

Those kids we never had

It's too late for us now but I still think about

Those kids we never had
