Although many of the other songs I have put up are not directly about child loss, this song by Craig Cardiff is about the baby who was born sleeping. The words are beautiful and very sad. You can download from iTunes and watch the official video from YouTube if you scroll down the page. You may find the song difficult to listen to so, depending on where you are in the grieving process, you may want to come back to this another time.
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 outsideWe 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 insideWe 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.
