My Only Child - The Highwomen

I know you wish

You had a brother who had blue eyes just like you

I know you wish

You had a sister you could tell your secrets to

Maybe we’ll miss

Having four sets of china on the table

But I guarantee you this:

You mean more to me than branches to a maple

Pink painted walls

Your face in my locket

Your daddy and me

Your tiny back pocket

Mama’s first love

Last of my kind

You’ll always be my only child

Well I can’t let go

Of watercolor memories that you made me

And I’m holding on

To the innocence of tea parties and daydreams

Pink painted walls

Your face in my locket

Your daddy and me

Your tiny back pocket

Mama’s first love

Last of my kind

You’ll always be my only child

Someday your wish

Will come true when your first baby’s born

You’ll cherish every kiss

And wonder how you could love something more

Pink painted walls

Your face in my locket

Your daddy and me

Your tiny back pocket

Mama’s first love

The last of my kind

You’ll always be my only child

My only child

My only child

My only child

I know you wish

You had a brother who had blue eyes just like you
