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
