F C G 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 G 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 G C 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 its 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."
