We've been looking through a window on an orchid mother dear
We wanted so to buy it just for you
To thank your for the many prayers that heaven only knows
But all we have for you Mom is this rose
We tried to buy that orchid and Mom I'll tell you why
Every day should be Mother's Day for you
It's not much to say we love you but still we hope it shows
But all we have for you Mom is this rose
[ steel ]
When our life is over and we hear the trumpet blow
We'll meet you up in heaven on that day
God will hand to you that orchid as he takes you in his fold
But all we have for you Mom is this rose
We tried to buy that orchid...
