מילים: אשד מלק ועוזי בסון לחן: לא ידוע קיים ביצוע לשיר זה Holly had an office job a few miles out of town A dead end position in a small time business on its way down She didn't care; she and her husband Ernie had a love so true They got married in the spring, decided to have a baby too The months had passed and Holly got pregnant in the fall And she and Ernie hugged and kissed they felt they had it all But as the doctor looked up at them and in his eye was dread He said I'm really sorry to tell you you're baby - it is dead Holly she was broke when she heard the terrible news A child was all she wanted - such a precious thing to lose She cried her eyes out for a week as Ernie held her hand But she thought he couldn't feel her loss, he did not understand The winter came, it got cold and first snow touched the ground Holly felt a little better and had high hopes second time around But this time too hope didn't do her heart was broke again She felt she asked so little joy and instead got so much pain A few years passed and people asked why they never had a child But Holly never told nobody just looked down, then up, then smiled But inside she was shattered she felt damaged and in despair She felt envy seeing moms push strollers through the garden in the summer air One evening she stayed late at work and everybody was gone Except for Ben a close friend she had they sat there all alone Holly then began to speak and told him how her heart was broke And he had listened patiently and not a word he spoke He touched her hand and face and then her neck and chest And kissed her lips and shoulders and then kissed all the rest And in the moment's passion she felt no regret for what she did She felt him inside, she might have cried, all she wanted was a kid The next morning she looked for Ben he never came to work A few years later she heard he died from a highway motel clerk Turns out he loved her for a long time he had his reasons too She pushed a stroller through the garden and Ernie never knew Just held her hand again and said look how pretty Jamie grew |
