Lyrics

I still remember the day,
I still remember the wonder and joy,
When the doctor confirmed what I?d dreamed?
I was carrying both a girl and a boy.
And your father and I and all of our friends
Were so happy that you had each other,
To journey together through birth and beyond
The special bond of twin sister and brother.

Sarah Grace, I see your face,
Your tiny body that never drew breath on its own.
Though you left our world, you?re still our little girl,
Our dear daughter, still loved, still unknown.

We?ll never know what went wrong.
We?ll never know why your heart ceased its beat.
We?ll never know why you couldn?t stay
To make our new family complete.
And your father and I and all of our friends
Scarcely knew how to hold both emotions?
For your brother, a joy as bright as the sun,
And, for you, grief as deep as the oceans.

Sarah Grace, I see your face,
Your tiny body that never drew breath on its own.
Though you left our world, you?re still our little girl,
Our dear daughter, still loved, still unknown.

As I watch your brother grow tall,
I wonder what you would be like today.
And are you now another mother?s child?
Or are you still with us in some unseen way?
And your father and I and all of our friends
Celebrate one birthday each November.
Then I walk on the beach where we scattered your ashes,
And, yes, Sarah Grace, I remember.

Sarah Grace, I see your face,
Your tiny body that never drew breath on its own.
Though you left our world, you?re still our little girl,
Our dear daughter, still loved, still unknown.

Sarah Grace, I see your face.
