My little girl and I lost mamma just three years ago

    F               C     D7                            G7
And now that she is older there are things she wants to know

    C                         F                      C
She said please daddy tell me bout my mother cause I miss her

  F                C         G7                      C
I said get pen and paper and I'll help your draw her picture

 
  F                              C
I said first draw a heart so big there's room for little else

     F                              C               G7
Then write a million for the things that she denied herself

C                             F                 C
Draw a rose the kind of which there'll never be another

    F                   C           G7              C
And when you finish you will have a picture of your mother

 
C                               F            C
If you want to make the picture even more complete

F                C               D7               G7
You could draw a little cottage  draw it nice and neat

C                            F             C
Draw a bright and shining sun up in the sky above

    F            C                 G7              C
But then again I guess it's pretty hard to draw my love

 
   F                           C
So draw a heart so big there's room for little else

     F                              C               G7
Then write a million for the things that she denied herself

C                             F                 C
Draw a rose the kind of which there'll never be another

    F                   C           G7              C
And when you finish you will have a picture of your mother
