I go to see my little girl each 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



CHORUS:

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'd say

I pray in time he'll change his mind and take me back once more

Then I'll not be a mommy for a day



REPEAT CHORUS
