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
