An invite to a wedding That no-one can attend A poster for a show that never happened Two tickets for a holiday I can longer spend And a gift for Mothers Day I won't be wrapping This is all I'm left with In a world that's been shut down I want to come see you mum But I fear that thing I might bring in So I'm sending you this message With a heavy heart to say I miss you but I can't be there today I love you and that's I'm going to stay away It feels like hope has been postponed All plans put on hold Prospects fade and expectations shattered But all through these uncertain days I've come to understand Those few precious things that truly matter Mama you've been on my mind As the world has slipped away Promise me you'll do the things That must be done in the days to come I don't know when I'll get the chance To hug you so I want to say I miss you but I can't be there today I love you and that's why I'm going to stay away The time will come when this is done And I won't have to say I miss you but I can't be there today I love you and that's why I'm going to stay away
