A Picture of Your Mother Lyrics

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 about My mother because I miss her I said, "Get a 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
