A Boy I Never Knew

devoblue · October 22, 2007, 07:33:51

What a great song that is.
I could listen to this all day.

Makes me want to go home and give my two year old a big hug.

I've only heard it a few times, but already I think its the best of 'The Cure' sessions.

Thanks for posting that J.

A Boy I Never Knew

To have his arms around me, to sense his perfect trust
I'd give all I ever had...all I ever had...

I'd love to see him dream, I'd love to watch him sleep
To have his arms around me, ?
Held his arms in mine, sense his perfect trust
I'd give all I ever had for a moment of his love

He's my heart and my soul
He's my blood and my bones
He's my prayers and my hope
My wishes and dreams
Seems so long ago, so long ago...

I'd love to watch him dream, love to see him sleep
To have his arms around me, feel him as he breathes
Hold his hands in mine, sense his perfect trust
I'd give all I ever had for a moment of his love

He's my heart and my soul
He's my blood and my bones
He's my prayers and my hopes
My wishes and dreams
Seems so long ago...

He's my blood and my bones
He's my heart and my soul
He's my prayers and my hopes
My wishes and dreams

A boy I never knew
And the man I'll never know
I'll never know, I'll never know...

To have his arms around me, sense his perfect trust
I'd give all I ever had...

I was just thinking the same thing. My 12 year old called me right before the show tonight to tell me all about his Ice Hockey game that I missed because I am in Mexico. He scored a goal, even though his team lost. Listening to this, I found myself thinking about him....

Such a sad and beautiful song.
and somewhat personal to me.
even though it is about a a boy/son.
My daughter passed away 7 years ago.
and listening to this song, brought tears to my eyes.

Sorry to hear that....I can't even imagine the emotion that a song like this would evoke in your situation. My 4 year old was not breathing on her own for the first 10 minutes of her life. It was devastating watching the doctor trying to get her to breath on her own. I was convinced that she wasn't going to make it, but after 5 days in Natal Intensive Care, she finally pulled through. Had she not made it, I'd probably be a wreck listening to this!

Its such a beautiful song but it makes me cry,
its one of those songs that digs up the past and makes you remember things you tried to forget.

I like this song, is beautiful!

So true! I'm feeling a bit teary eyed myself now.

I really love this song! So beautiful but so sad. It's really getting to me since I have no kids and I really wish I did. The relationships I have been in the past just didn't work out so I find myself single now & I'm at an age that may not allow me to ever have any of my own. It's making me think what I could have had & what I will be missing when I get older. I completely relate to what Robert is saying. Very deep & personal.

I think this song is going to touch a lot of people in many different ways, so sorry to hear of your loss Cure Freak

This just kills me emotionally - it's so beautiful and sad that I almost cried

A big hug for Cure Freak

Somehow this song reminded me of my dear granny that passed away this summer after long and painful desease... :(

I am so sorry to hear about your daughter, CF and that you went through something so awful in your life. I can't even imagine how you've coped. I wish I could give you a huge hug right now!!

Wow! I feel like such a loser ~ I've never even heard this song!! What album is this on?? :(

silversand · October 22, 2007, 22:40:09

It's such a beautiful and moving song. I've just listened to it and i've cried.
The lyrics are wonderful and Robert's voice is awesome.
I love this song!
