A Piece Of The Road

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"

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 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"
