I try to sleep as long as i can
I pull the covers over my head
I pray that there's some way
That life could skip a day to monday
I try to count my blessings
It's a long long list
For a girl who has so much
There's so much that i miss
And days like this
I wish i could

Go to town buy you a card
Says "i love you" inside a heart
And one that makes you laugh
Pick you flowers from our yard
You can set them in a window in a mason jar
Dad'll take our photograph

One, two, three
Smile say cheese
Oh i wish it could be
That way
Every mother's day

Maybe some day i will let go
But right now i'm still hanging on
Maybe on day god will bless me
With a daughter of my own
And have love i've never known
And she could

Go to town buy me a card
Says "i love you" inside a heart
One that makes me laugh
She'll pick me flowers from our yard
I'll set them in a window in a mason jar
And dad'll take our photograph

One, two, three
Smile say cheese
Oh i wish we could be
That way
Every mother's day
