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...
