My little girl and I lost mamma just three years ago
And now that she is older there are things she wants to know
She said please daddy tell me bout my mother cause I miss her
I said get pen and paper and I'll help your draw her picture
I said first draw a heart so big there's room for little else
Then write a million for the things that she denied herself
Draw a rose the kind of which there'll never be another
And when you finish you will have a picture of your mother
If you want to make the picture even more complete
You could draw a little cottage draw it nice and neat
Draw a bright and shining sun up in the sky above
But then again I guess it's pretty hard to draw my love
So draw a heart so big there's room for little else
Then write a million for the things that she denied herself
Draw a rose the kind of which there'll never be another
And when you finish you will have a picture of your mother
