You're just a small bump unborn 00:14

In four months you're brought to life 00:17

You might be left with my hair 00:22

But you'll have your mother's eyes 00:25

Oh, I'll hold your body in my hands, be as gentle as I can 00:30

But for now, you're a scan on my unmade plans 00:35

A small bump, in four months you're brought to life 00:39

And I'll whisper quietly 00:46

And give you nothing but truth 00:50

If you're not inside me 00:54

I'll put my future in you 00:58

You are my one and only 01:02

And you can wrap your fingers around my thumb and hold me tight 01:08

Oh, you are my one and only 01:18

You can wrap your fingers around my thumb and hold me tight 01:24

And you'll be alright, ooh 01:32

You're just a small bump unknown 01:36

You'll grow into your skin 01:39

With a smile like hers 01:45

And a dimple beneath the chin 01:47

Finger nails the size of a half grain of rice 01:53

And eyelids closed to be soon opened wide 01:57

A small bump, in four months you'll open your eyes 02:01

And I'll hold you tightly 02:08

And tell you nothing but truth 02:12

If you're not inside me 02:16

I'll put my future in you 02:20

You are my one and only 02:25

And you can wrap your fingers around my thumb and hold me tight 02:31

Oh, you are my one and only 02:38

You can wrap your fingers around my thumb and hold me tight 02:39

And you'll be alright 02:40

Then you can lie with me, with your tiny feet 02:42

When you're half asleep, I'll leave you be 02:47

Right in front of me for a couple weeks 02:50

So, I can keep you safe 02:55

'Cause you are my one and only 03:03

You can wrap your fingers around my thumb and hold me tight 03:08

You are my one and only 03:19

You can wrap your fingers around my thumb and hold me tight 03:24

And you'll be alright 03:32

'Cause you were just a small bump unborn 03:37

For four months then torn from life 03:39

Maybe you were needed up there 03:44

But we're still unaware as why 03:47

03:52

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

You're just a small bump unborn

In four months you're brought to life

You might be left with my hair

But you'll have your mother's eyes

Oh, I'll hold your body in my hands, be as gentle as I can

But for now, you're a scan on my unmade plans

A small bump, in four months you're brought to life

And I'll whisper quietly

And give you nothing but truth

If you're not inside me

I'll put my future in you

You are my one and only

And you can wrap your fingers around my thumb and hold me tight

Oh, you are my one and only

You can wrap your fingers around my thumb and hold me tight

And you'll be alright, ooh

You're just a small bump unknown

You'll grow into your skin

With a smile like hers

And a dimple beneath the chin

Finger nails the size of a half grain of rice

And eyelids closed to be soon opened wide

A small bump, in four months you'll open your eyes

And I'll hold you tightly

And tell you nothing but truth

If you're not inside me

I'll put my future in you

You are my one and only

And you can wrap your fingers around my thumb and hold me tight

Oh, you are my one and only

You can wrap your fingers around my thumb and hold me tight

And you'll be alright

Then you can lie with me, with your tiny feet

When you're half asleep, I'll leave you be

Right in front of me for a couple weeks

So, I can keep you safe

'Cause you are my one and only

You can wrap your fingers around my thumb and hold me tight

You are my one and only

You can wrap your fingers around my thumb and hold me tight

And you'll be alright

'Cause you were just a small bump unborn

For four months then torn from life

Maybe you were needed up there

But we're still unaware as why
