"Molly Jo" lyrics

I'm not sure where we heard it, but the second we did
We knew it'd be a perfect fit for our kid
And that name in the middle, we added it on
So you'd share an initial with both of our moms
It's a shame we broke up before you

Molly Jo, Molly Jo
Big brown eyes and a little pink bow
Molly Jo, Molly Jo
And your two tiny hands we would hold
Oh, I can't believe I'll never know
Molly Jo

We said we'd drive you to soccer, school and ballet
And tell you we love you every day
Read you Dr. Seuss and tuck you in tight
Fall asleep halfway through and we'd kiss you goodnight

Molly Jo, Molly Jo
Big brown eyes and a little pink bow
Molly Jo, Molly Jo
And your two tiny hands we would hold
Oh, I can't believe I'll never know
Molly Jo

No chalk on the porch, no toys on the floor
No swing in the yard or car seat in the Ford
No marks on the doorframe, no tea party dates
Just two broken hearts and one perfect name

Molly Jo, Molly Jo
Big brown eyes and a little pink bow
Molly Jo, Molly Jo
And your two tiny hands we would hold
We tried and we tried, but we broke
Now I can't believe I'll never know
Molly Jo
