[Verse]
C G C D7
When I was small I had dolls, some could walk
G D
Some could talk, some could cry
G Dm C
Others would wet when I'd lie 'em down
G C D7 G D
And like a mother I'd rock them to sleep with some old melody
G Dm C
One I had learned at my mother's knee
[Verse]
Dm F C
Their tiny eyes would close on a hinge
F G C
Not to open 'til I sat 'em up straight
Dm F C
With just one sad cry they'd lie there
F G C
'Til I decided the time had come to play
Then one day I sang my song
F C
Sang it for the last time
G C
Left them there to lie forever in the dark
[Bridge]
D
By and by I went to school
G D
Learned of life and all it's mysteries
A7 A G
I felt its pleasures after sundown in the park
D F G D
Where at first I walked alone, but soon walked with others
F C A7 D
'Til the one to hold my hand had that touch to set me off
G D C D
I got married and had children, a house and furniture
F C A D
A dentist, a doctor to monitor each cough
[Verse]
G D
Then one day I called my daughter, I called her by her little name
A7 D
I found her playing house in the dining room
G D
The table was her room and books were her play-chairs
A7
Every doll was dressed and working
G
Some with dustpans and some with brooms
C F C
And I sat down beside her to help her make her little home
G
My fingers fumbled with the snaps
F
I couldn't hold the Barbie coat
G D G
Then it clicked and I remembered

[Verse]
Dm F C
But you, you're like no doll
F G C
You don't fall asleep after I've kissed you goodnight
Dm F C
Unlike your doll, you won't stay small
F G C
You'll grow and grow too soon, to take flight
