Jack Johnson- If I Could, from the album In Between Dreams
Lyrics:
A brand new baby was born yesterday
Just in time
Papa cried, baby cried
Said "Your tears are like mine"
I heard some words
From a friend on the phone
That didn't sound so good
The doctor gave him two weeks to live
I'd give him more if I could
You know that I would now
If only I could
You know that I would now
If only I could
Down the middle drops one more
Grain of sand
They say that
New life makes losing life easier to understand
Words are kind
They helped ease the mind
I'll miss my old friend
And though you gotta go
We'll keep a piece of your soul
One goes out
One comes in
You know that I would now
If only I could
You know that I would now
If only I could

I have a tattoo on my foot that says "if only I could" in my own handwriting from this song. My brother was diagnosed with cancer a few years back and shortly afterward his girlfriend at the time became pregnant with their only child.
One goes out, one comes in.
Some days I feel like he wrote this song for us. I love you.
