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

(Chorus)
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

(Repeat Chorus)

One, two, three
Smile say Cheese
Oh I wish we could be
That way
Every Mother's Day
