I wrote this song two days after our son was still born.
Laura was away at her Mum and Dad’s house and I was home alone with my thoughts.
This was my emotional vent.

We didn’t have you, with us for long
Our little baby, why’d you have to go?
Why’d you have to go?
C Em F G C F C
We wanted to give you the very best we had
You were our little baby, why’d you have to go?
I don’t understand, why’d you have to go?
C Em F G C F C
And we named you Harry, the best looking boy I’d ever seen
But you didn’t make it, it wasn’t meant to be
Am G F Em x 2 Asus4, A
How can it be, your life was taken?
Sadness and pain, our hearts are aching
They’re aching for you
F G C E7 F G C
(but) Harry was here, and he’ll always be remembered in our hearts
Harry was here with us
F G C E7 F G C
Though you’re not here, you will always be remembered in our hearts
Harry was here with us
Harry was here with us
Am G F Em x 2 Asus4, A
So how can it be, your life was taken?
Sadness and pain, our hearts are aching
They’re aching for you
F G C E7 F G C
(but) Harry was here, and he’ll always be remembered in our hearts
Harry was here with us
F G C E7 F G C
And though you’re not here, you will always be remembered in our hearts
Harry was here with us
F G C E7 F G C
Little Harry was here and he’ll always be remembered in our hearts
Harry was here with us
F G C E7 F G C
And even though you’re not here, you will always be remembered in our hearts
Harry was here with us
