Picture of Your Mother
Tom T. Hall
"Even traditionally sentimental-type songs such as this are distinguished
by sensitive 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 bout my mother cause I miss her
I said get pen and paper and I'll help you 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'll finish you will have a picture of your mother.
--- Instrumental ---
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
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'll finish you will have a picture of your mother...
