Verse 1:

A           D
I know you wish

                                               A
You had a brother who had blue eyes just like you

I know you wish

                                             A
You had a sister you could tell your secrets to

               D
Maybe we'll miss

                                    A
Having four sets of china on the table

                     D
But I guarantee you this

You mean more to me than branches to a maple

Pink painted walls

                   A
Your face in my locket

               E
Your daddy and me

                  F#m
Your tiny back pocket

               D
Mama's first love

              A
Last of my kind

You'll always be my only child

Well I can't let go

                                      A
Of watercolor memories that you made me

                 D
And I'm holding on

                                      E       F#m
To the innocence of tea parties and daydreams

Pink painted walls

Your face in my locket

Your daddy and me

                D
Someday your wish

Will come true when your first baby's born

                           D
And you'll cherish every kiss

                                 E           F#m
And wonder how you could love something more

               D
Pink painted walls

                   A
Your face in my locket

               E
Your daddy and me

                  F#m
Your tiny back pocket

               D
Mama's first love

              A
Last of my kind
