A Mommy for a Day
I go to see my little girl
It's Sunday afternoon
And how I dread the words I know she'll say
She'll ask me when I'm coming home
I'll answer pretty soon
But I know I'm just her Mommy for a day
She's much too young to realize
Why Mommy can't come home
And that her daddy wanted things this way
We kiss goodbye and my heart breaks
To walk away alone
To have to be a Mommy for a day
I love her dad with all my heart
They lied and ruined our home
Oh why did he believe the things they say
I pray in time he'll change his mind
And take me back once more
Then I'll not have to be a Mommy for a day
She's much too young to realize
Why Mommy can't come home
And that her daddy wanted things this way
We kiss goodbye and my heart breaks
To walk away alone
To have to be a Mommy for a day
It's Sunday afternoon
And how I dread the words I know she'll say
She'll ask me when I'm coming home
I'll answer pretty soon
But I know I'm just her Mommy for a day
She's much too young to realize
Why Mommy can't come home
And that her daddy wanted things this way
We kiss goodbye and my heart breaks
To walk away alone
To have to be a Mommy for a day
I love her dad with all my heart
They lied and ruined our home
Oh why did he believe the things they say
I pray in time he'll change his mind
And take me back once more
Then I'll not have to be a Mommy for a day
She's much too young to realize
Why Mommy can't come home
And that her daddy wanted things this way
We kiss goodbye and my heart breaks
To walk away alone
To have to be a Mommy for a day
