I woke up one morning
A note on the door
I knew I'd seen that handwriting
Before.

I read to myself
The words I could bear
I'm leaving you, honey
As I shed a tear

My dad woke up
Two minutes later
His hopes were rising
Greater and greater

The door never opened
She never came home
Leaving me and my dad
All alone

Then I grew up
Moved on with my life
Before I knew it
I became a wife

I then had three children
One sister, two brothers
And cried when I realized
They'd never see my mother

Mom returned three years later
Saw the family she never had
Then she went home
And reunited with Dad

Now we are all back together
One big happy family
All I need is Mom's picture
To complete the family tree
