A Picture Of Your Mother

[Verse 1:] My little girl and I lost Mama 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." [Chorus:] 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 [Verse 2:] "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 its pretty hard to draw my love [Chorus:] "So draw a heart so big that there is room for little else 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."
