Lyrics
You're just a small bump unborn in four months you're brought to life
You might be left with my hair but you'll have your mother's eyes
I'll hold your body in my hands, be as gentle as I can
But for now you're a scan of my unmade plans
A small bump in four months you brought to life

And I'll whisper quietly and give you nothing but truth
If you're not inside me, I'll put my future in you

You are my one and only
And you can wrap your fingers round my thumb
And hold me tight
You are my one and only
You can wrap your fingers round my thumb
And hold me tight
And you'll be alright

You're just a small bump, I know you'll grow into your skin
With a smile like hers and a dimple beneath your chin
Fingernails the size of a half grain of rice
And eyelids closed to be soon open wide
A small bump, in four months you'll open your eyes

And I'll hold you tightly and tell you nothing but truth
If you're not inside me, I'll put my future in you

You are my one and only
And you can wrap your fingers round my thumb
And hold me tight
You are my one and only
And you can wrap your fingers round my thumb
And hold me tight
And you'll be alright

Then you can lie with me, with your tiny feet
When you're half asleep I'll leave you be
Right in front of me, for a couple weeks
So I can keep you safe

'Cos you are my one and only
You can wrap your fingers round my thumb
And hold me tight
You are my one and only
You can wrap your fingers round my thumb
And hold me tight
And you'll be alright

'Cos you were just a small bump unborn for four months, then torn from life
Maybe you were needed up there but we're still unaware as why.

If you haven't lost a child, I pray you never have to. I am a father of three, one of them never made it out of the womb. It hurts beyond belief. Even today with a living son and expecting another in May, it hurts. Ed, your song gives me peace. Thank you.

[mugflub]

No effects, no auto-tune, nothing fancy, just him and a guitar, and it's better than 99% of the music on the radio these days.

[amreenasingh]

i vote yes to more acoustic boat sessions

[seancahill]

This is exactly why Ed sheeran and that guitar has buckets more talent then any of these remixes in the charts rn

[briswifty]

If he sang math, maybe I would understand it. He's just so talented. It's insane.

[felixchan]

I could watch him singing for all day and not feeling bored.

[raybluett]

You can see how hard it was for him at the end. The emotion flows through this brilliant musician and his voice.

[amandathomas]

Lost my son when I was 19, been playing this song for 5 years since to keep sane. Thank you Ed, truly thank you.

You're just a small bump unborn, in four months you're brought to life,
You might be left with my hair, but you'll have your mother's eyes,
I'll hold your body in my hands, be as gentle as I can,
But for now you're scan of my unmade plans,
A small bump in four months you'll open your eyes
I'll hold you tightly, I'll give you nothing but truth,
If you're not inside me, I'll put my future in you
You are my one and only.
You can wrap your fingers round my thumb and hold me tight.
Oh, you are my one and only.
You can wrap your fingers round my thumb and hold me tight.
And you'll be alright.
Oh, you're just a small bump unknown, you'll grow into your skin.
With a smile like hers and a dimple beneath your chin.
Finger nails the size of a half grain of rice,
And eyelids closed to be soon opened wide
A small bump, in four months you'll open your eyes.
And I'll hold you tightly, I'll give you nothing but truth,
If you're not inside me, I'll put my future in you
You are my one and only.
You can wrap your fingers round my thumb and hold me tight.
Oh, you are my one and only.
You can wrap your fingers round my thumb and hold me tight.
And you'll be alright.
and you can lie with me,
With your tiny feet
When you're half asleep,
I'll leave you be.
Right in front of me
For a couple weeks
So I can keep you safe.
'Cause you are my one and only.
You can wrap your fingers round my thumb and hold me tight.
You are my one and only.
You can wrap your fingers round my thumb and hold me tight.
And you'll be alright.
'Cause you were just a small bump unborn for four months then torn from life.
Maybe you were needed up there but we're still unaware as why.

Imagine walking down the streets and then you see Ed chilling on a boat singing songs.. I would jump in the water and swim to him, definitely

[nurigaguiLM]

This man only needs his voice and his guitar to make magic.

[tildaedits]

I kinda miss this. When almost no one knew who he was. He felt like our little secret. I know it sounds weird, but I miss the time where you didn't have to fight with every single person who thinks that his only songs are I see fire and Photograph. I miss how I could say "I like Ed Sheeran" without being judged by anyone
But, of course I'm proud of him. I can't wait for the 3rd album

[hanniverhonores]

10 years later and still gives me goosebumps. thanks Ed for chased your dream and share your talent with all of us.

[laurelhobert]

Imagine if you saw Ed on a boat while you were just walking down the street. I'd freak out SOOO much

[oyuholiday]

He's just my style, my type.. He's the incarnation of my imagination voice and music. Such a great singer, songwriter ever <3

[kevinvinvinzednanreh]

It's crazy to think that this is 12 years ago already, feels like just yesterday I'm listening to Ed's singing in a boat sessions <3

[vivianagonzalez]

RIP my small bump. you're supposed to be 1 year old my little pea. I miss you so much my baby.

[irinas]

He's just perfect! I love all his song!!! <3

[jonatasmvii]

Someone in 2020 ? I just love this song!! Ed you're the best and amazing.

[chills]

He has the perfect attitude towards his career, he does what he wants to do, provides us all with beautiful music that will forever imprint itself upon us, but keeps himself private and still has his own world that isn't swarmed by messages on social media or screaming fans. Nothing but respect for Ed. He's worked hard for what he's got. True talent.
