I had a friend
years now ago
she helped me stay in life
when I wanted to go
this simple thing she said
that stuck with me

"A baby heals a broken heart"

Though it was now a long time ago
and I've had much time to heal and grow
still the sadness lingers and doesn't go
and I dream of love I want to know
and then I wonder if she was just jokin'

a baby can heal a heart that's broken

I wonder if I'm too old
but really inside I still feel young
even though I've fallen off life's ladder
and have to start at the first rung
I wish somehow for a special someone
I think life again would be fun

But more than fun I wonder most earnestly
if maybe it's possible for me to start a family
I know much now about being a father
and it was to me the nicest part of life
to have a baby and to imagine a true loving wife
and I hope somehow there is a maybe

Because I think my heart has room for a baby

That friend and I were eventually parted
but I think now what she started
inside of me is still that thought
and maybe its for naught
but right now it's all I've got
maybe its not to late
I'll just have to see and wait

Nothing else has seemed to do the trick
and she was pretty grounded and smart
maybe I should hold together my heart
for someday when it won't fall apart
and love will find me and give me a frest start
and I'll find one who will love sincerely and not part

and maybe
a baby
if it's God's will
to bless us with that joy
of a little girl or boy
because a baby, I'm told, can mend a broken heart
