Lyrics

Mother's Day


It's been awhile
Since you went away
Though somehow we're okay
that doesn't mean
we don't think of you
each and every day

Our kids have grown
Oh how they grew
I only wish they'd known you
Excuse me while I reminisce
What I really mean to say
is I'm missing you
this Mother's Day

I thought I might
find joy tonight
in talking to you
for awhile
I'm not too proud
to say "I love you" now
though it never was our style

Had fate allowed
your presence now
it would be your special day
I'd bring you flowers
We could spend hours
saying those things we didn't say
Oh I'm missing you
this Mother's Day
