The one that got away

From the beginning I was so scared
The thoughts that something could go wrong always was there
But the dreams started to fade and reality was true
I finally understand what I've been through
I could not scream I could not cry I could not let it be so
That overnight I'd lose a piece of me and that you would have to go
I know that you won't be the last, I won't let that be
I'll try and try and try again my baby you will see
The doctors thought that you were gone
But in my tubes you lay
I'm sorry my little precious one
That's a place that you can't stay
With heavy heart and a knowing brain we had to say goodbye
There was nothing we could do for you, nothing we could try
But you will be back
Soon enough my baby you will see
You were the one who got away
You slipped away to sea
