This Morning viewers break down in tears as James Blunt sings about losing his baby daughter

THIS Morning viewers were moved to tears today as James Blunt performed his latest song.

The singer, 49, belted out The Girl That Never Was, which he penned after he and wife Sofia lost their baby daughter.

The song includes the lyrics: "We never should have picked a name, 'Cause now she has a face, And now no matter what we do, No one will take her place. Darling, we tried but now it's over, We had it all and then we lost, The girl that never was."

Those watching the daytime TV show at home found it very emotional and took to Twitter to reveal how much they were crying.

One person wrote: “That song you performed on #ThisMorning was fantastic and brought me to tears (in a good way).”

A second said: “#ThisMorning wow James Blunt’s song have made me cry especially his latest single.”

While a third added: “Wow that song hit my heart hard! We are 16 years on from our sons stillbirth and it still hits hard at what could have been  #jamesblunt .”

Speaking previously about the song, James said:  "It's amazing how many people can relate to the song. I'm married. We had aspirations to start a family and... people in my situation have gone through that, you win some battles and you lose some.

"And the ones that we have lost we struggle with a bit. So I wrote a song called The Girl That Never Was." 

James and wife Sofia are parents to two sons.
