Watson, Aaron - Bluebonnets (Julia's Song) Lyrics






In another time and place Grandma would kiss my face
Wish I could go back there again
I'd climb up in my Grandpa's lap I'd lay down and take a nap
That old man and me were best friends

And one day I turned around the leaves of fall had fallen down
Those fields were bare and brown and they were gone, long gone

Long gone like bluebonnets in the spring we're only here for a little while
It's beautiful and bittersweet so make the most of every mile
So pack light and love heavy give it all your heart and soul
So in the end you won't regret one thing
Life is like bluebonnets in the spring

There's so much I can't explain such as gravity and pain
Still I remain blind folded and full of faith
I kiss my angel girl goodbye, still can't help but wonder why
But I believe I'll see her again someday

So hold ‘em tender and hold 'em tight, pray every morning day and night
God will help you raise them right and don't you blink, don't blink

'Cause like bluebonnets in the spring we're only here for a little while
It's beautiful and bittersweet so make the most of every mile
So pack light and love heavy give it all your heart and soul
So in the end you won't regret one thing
Life is like bluebonnets in the spring

Life can be filled full sorrow
Time is something you can't borrow
So love like there's no tomorrow
Because today could be the day

Like bluebonnets in the spring we're only here for a little while
It's beautiful and bittersweet so make the most of every mile
So pack light and love heavy give it all your heart and soul
So in the end you won't regret one thing
Life is like bluebonnets in the spring

Life is like bluebonnets in the spring

    🔥💯🙏 Great Song

  5. A.... H....

    This song makes me think of my grandparents. They would always have a vase of bluebonnets and would play this song

  6. J.... C....

    This might be one of the best songs of reality & faith ever written. Thank you

  7. S.... M....

    Not usually a big country music fan, YET this most amazingly beautiful song touches my heart deeply~Aaron has a hauntingly fantastic voice and so sadly sweet that these very pretty and TRUEST words were written for his Baby Daughter, Julia:) Rest-in-Peach, Precious Little One, and enjoy PLAYING up above in Heaven until Daddy and Mommy make it up there to once again hold their girl close...

  8. 1.... ....

    Love your songs

  9. C.... B....

    I profess to dislike country western music but I have to say, there seems to be a few exceptions to most rules. This is one and if you aren't careful you'll find yourself liking it too, along with finding a lump in your throat and maybe a bit of tearing up of your eyes...
    First time I heard it was on Glenn Beck's radio show. Aaron was being interviewed and he told us about Julie and how they discovered that she had a fatal defect and would only live for a few hours at best after being born and all the "doctors" (who take an oath to do no harm, don't they?) urged his wife and him to have her aborted. But being a real Christian, Aaron knew that would be murder, regardless of the laws of man. God's laws come first. Man's laws a distant second.
    Psalm 139:13-16 For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.

  10. A.... P....

    Like bluebonnets in the spring we're only here for awhile

  11. A.... P....

    Every time I listen To this song I want to cry so bad.i think it is because Julia was such a precious baby

    A.... P....

    Every time something reminds me of it, I come back and listen again and every time, I get choked up and teary eyed.

  12. J.... M....

    this song made me cry

  13. J.... M....

    Im sorry for your loss but i love all your songs and you keep it country

  14. J.... M....

  17. W.... H....

    I lost my aunt a few years ago to cancer. I listen to this song everyday now that I have found it. The song speaks the truth, we blink and things have already passed by us. What I'd give to see my aunt again.

  18. a.... ....

    This song is so great! I loved it when you first released it, Then this past March my wife had a miscarriage at 16 weeks pregnant and this song means so much more to me now. It is so tough losing a child, Although we never were able to enjoy our baby he was loved just as much! Thank you for making this song, So sorry for your loss!

    a.... ....

    Let me express my condolences. I hope someday that you get to meet your son in Heaven.

  19. C.... G....

    This song hits me right to the core.. in 2005, I lost my dad, then I was blessed to give birth to my 1st born baby girl.. and with in the blink of an eye (6 wks and 6 days later) on Christmas Eve, my angel grew her wings. It hurts just as much today and it did that day. Thank you for writing this song. I listen to it everytime I feel I need to reconnect with her. #JuliaGrace #KarleighCecile #bluebonnets #OurAngles #GoneTooSoon

  35. S.... L....

    In another time and place
    Grandma would kiss my face
    Wish I could go back there again
    I'd climb up in my grandpa's lap
    I'd lay down and take a nap
    That old man and me were best friends

    And one day I turned around
    Leaves are fallin', fallin' down
    Those fields were bare and brown and they were gone

    Long gone like bluebonnets in the spring
    We're only here for a little while
    It's beautiful and bittersweet
    So make the most of every mile
    So pack light and love heavy
    Give it all your heart and soul, so in the end
    You won't regret one thing
    Life is like bluebonnets in the spring.

    There's so much I can't explain
    Such as gravity and pain
    Still I remain, blindfolded and full of faith
    I kissed my angel girl goodbye
    Still can't help but wonder why
    But I believe I'll see her again someday

    So, hold 'em tender, hold 'em tight
    Pray every mornin', day, and night
    That God will help you raise them right
    And don't you blink, don't blink

    'Cause like bluebonnets in the spring
    We're only here for a little while
    It's beautiful and bittersweet
    So make the most of every mile
    So pack light and love heavy
    Give it all your heart and soul
    So in the end you won't regret one thing
    Life is like bluebonnets in the spring

    Life can be filled full of sorrow
    Time is something you can't borrow
    So love like there's no tomorrow
    Because today could the day

    Like bluebonnets in the spring
    We're only here for a little while
    It's beautiful and bittersweet
    So make the most of every mile
    So pack light and love heavy
    Give it all your heart and soul, so in the end
    You won't regret one thing
    Life is like bluebonnets in the spring

    Life is like bluebonnets in the spring

    Aaron Watson reached No. 1 on Billboard‘s Top Country Albums chart with The Underdog, but he’s had a tough time replicating that success at radio. The album’s fourth single, “Bluebonnets (Julia’s Song),” was one of the most powerful of the year — an emotional ode to the daughter that he and his wife lost just hours after her birth. A song that stays with the listener long after it’s over, “Bluebonnets” did not chart.
