Before We Said Hello
Before we Said Hello
Words & Music by Steve Siler
We were so excited
What anticipation
We’d prepared a place for you inside our hearts
Oh, how you were wanted
We had plans and dreams
Then in an instant it all came apart
Like a flower that was crushed before it could bloom
Like a story just begun that ended much too soon
We grieve love interrupted that has no place to go
We said goodbye before we said hello
They say you’re in Heaven
and someday I’ll see you
But that doesn’t fill the ache I’m feeling now
Your life was so special
Such a miracle
Now life goes on but I just don’t know how
Like a flower that was crushed before it could bloom
Like a story just begun that ended much too soon
We grieve the child who’s living in our hearts but not our home
We said goodbye before we said hello
You are my angel and we’ll never be apart
I may not hold in my arms but I’ll still hold you in my heart
Like a flower that was crushed before it could bloom
Like a story just begun that ended much too soon
We grieve the hopes cut short
The memories we’ll never know
Why? Oh why?
Did we have to say goodbye before we said hello

Absolutely beautiful!! This is perfect!! I shared it with a friend who lost her little guy about a month ago. I had a miscarriage in between my 2 youngest and it really puts everything into words!
