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 on days like this

I wish I could go to town buy you a card

That says "I love you" inside a heart

And one that makes you laugh

Pick you flowers from our yard

You can set 'em in the window in a mason jar

Dad will take our photograph

One two three

Smile say cheese

Oh I wish it could be that way

Every mother's day

Maybe someday I will let go

But right now I'm still hanging on

Maybe one day God will bless me

With a daughter of my own

I'll have love I've never known

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 'em in the window in a mason jar

And dad will take our photograph

One two three

Smile say cheese

Oh I wish it could be that way

Every mother's day

One two three

Smile say cheese

Oh I wish we could be that way

Every mother's day
