Song about a miscarriage that always makes me cry

Jared found this song and played it for me and it always makes me cry.  Kind of heart wrenching.  Our Madeline is 10 this year and the part about watching star wars in your pjs reminds me of this summer how our kids watched star wars for the first time with their cousins in Alaska.  Miscarriages are always hard when you think about what could have been...

Yellowcard
Ten lyrics

(2, 3, 4)

Mmmmm
Mmmmm

I found out in the fall. I've been gone 
On the road for a year
She said, 
"Honey, I've got real bad news" and 
Then there were just tears
And we would never be the same again
Since then I've often wondered 
What you might have been like
How it would have felt to hold you, 
Would you have my eyes?
Don't you think we would've been best friends? 

You would be ten and I'd be 
Driving you to school
You would tell all your friends
That you thought I was cool
And you would have
All the love in my heart
Yeah, you would have
All the love in my heart
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/y/yellowcard/ten.html ]
We were twenty-two years young then
Breaking rules all around
We were 
Moving in that first apartment
It felt like it was never gonna end 
Both so lost and crazy 
We were young so we ran
Now I live in a dream where I am 
Holding your little hands
I never got to meet you, my best friend

You would be ten and I'd be 
Driving you to school
You would tell all your friends
That you thought I was cool
You would be out in the sun 
Until it was gone
You would be watching Star Wars
With your PJ's on
And you would have
All the love in my heart
Yeah, you would have
All the love in my heart

Mmmmm
Mmmmm

Don't you think we would have been best friends?

You would be ten and I'd be 
Driving you to school
You would tell all your friends
That you thought I was cool
You would be out in the sun 
Until it was gone
You would be watching Star Wars
With your PJ's on
You would be playing tunes on
On your first guitar
You would be harmony to
Every single part of me
And you have
All the love in my heart
Yeah, you would have
All the love in my heart

Mmmmm
Mmmmm...
