Verse 1
The flowers hadn't faded from your service yet
Your name was still written on my heart in fresh regret
I was learning how to lose you, trying hard to understand
When life slipped me a secret I could barely hold in my hands
Pre Chorus
Three days after goodbye
Three days after the rain
I heard a heartbeat changing everything
But you never heard his name
Chorus
You would've loved him
I know you would've known
Every gentle smile and every dream he'd call his own
Sometimes when he laughs
I have to catch my breath
'Cause for a second I can almost forget
He's the boy you never met
Verse 2
You would've cheered too loud at every little game
Given him some nickname he'd spend years trying to explain
You would've filled his head with stories
Half of them were probably true
And somehow by the end of every one
He'd laugh exactly like you
Chorus
You would've loved him
I know you would've known
Every gentle smile and every dream he'd call his own
Sometimes when he laughs
I have to catch my breath
'Cause for a second I can almost forget
He's the boy you never met
Bridge
This summer he'll be married
Standing where young dreamers stand
With a ring upon his finger
And forever in his plans
And I'll save a place beside me
Though I know it will stay empty too
Just wishing for one moment
He could have danced that night with you
Final Chorus
You would've loved him
I know you would've known
Every gentle smile and every dream he'd call his own
Sometimes when he laughs
I have to catch my breath
'Cause for a second I can almost forget
He's the boy you never met
And every day I see a little more of you
In the boy you never met
But somehow...
I think he knows you
