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      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 her mommy for a day      I loved her dad with all my heart they lied and ruined our home   Oh why did he believe the things they said   I pray in time he'll change his mind and take me back once more   Then I'll not be 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 her mommy for a day
