Today could've been the day
That you blow out your candles
Make a wish as you close your eyes
Today could've been the day
Everybody was laughin'
Instead I just sit here and cry
Who would you be?
What would you look like
When you looked at me for the very first time
Today could've been the next day of the rest of your life
Not a day goes by that I don't think of you
I'm always asking why this crazy world had to lose
Such a ray of light we never knew
Gone too soon, yeah [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/d/daughtry/gone_too_soon.html ]
Would you have been president?
Or a painter, a author or sing like your mother
One thing is evident
Would've give all I had
Would've loved you like no other
Who would you be?
What would you look like
Would you have my smile and her eyes?
Today could've been the next day of the rest of your life
Not a day goes by that I don't think of you
I'm always asking why this crazy world had to lose
Such a ray of light we never knew
Gone too soon, yeah
Not a day goes by, oh
I'm always asking why, oh
Not a day goes by that I don't think of you
I'm always asking why this crazy world had to lose
Such a beautiful life we never knew
Gone too soon
You were gone too soon, yeah
Sounds like the grieving of a father to be that was never taken into consideration when she made her "choice"

No question a loss in the family be it a baby unborn, newborn or too young. Regardless heartfelt full of tribute to a mother or father who have lost a child. Too soon. Always thinking of them.

I cant imagine what someone would go through, losing a child at any age.. I am so glad his twins are fine though. His bio indicates that his brothers wife had a misscarriage and chris had no idea before writing the song. Anyway, it made me cry and i have listened to the song a thousand times..

A father speaking to his passed away child in his or her birthday, and wondering what she or he would've been today if still was alive. That child perhaps died young from the name of the song.

This is a song about a child that the world never knew. It probably refers to a miscarriage or abortion.
The first verse shows that the child in the song wasn't even born since no birthday is certain. Very sad.

Love this song... He captures all of the feelings and emotion as if he has lost a child of his own. It's been 10 years this month since my son was still born at 39 weeks, and just like the song says... Not a day goes by that i don't think of you!

I lost my 27 year old daughter and her 29 year old husband in a car crash 8 months ago. The title of this song is enough to make me cry. They're both "gone too soon". Doesn't matter how old your child is, the loss of a child is the most profound pain i have experienced in my entire life. I miss them both every minute of every day.

This is about a friend of theirs that lost their daughter. I kinda translate it to mean loss of anyone. I lost my step grandfather,my mom, and my best friend in 2010. This song means so much to me.

His child died before the child was born, and he beats himself up about it even though it isnt his fault
