if i could only see your face baby i would rest a while
if i could only see your gummy toothless smile
if i could only hold you while your tears fall
and you wail with a deafening call
if i could only be your mother one more time
if i could only wipe your face when you have face paint made of food
if i could only teach you how to tell the bad from the good
if i could only hold you high and call you my special little child
if i could only hold those little hands a while
if i could only be your mother one more time
you left before we had a life together
you left before we had met one another
i would give my everything and anything i could possibly do
i would find everything i had and give it straight to you
if i could only be your mother one more time
