The Highwomen - My Only Child

Текст песни

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
