lyrics
My mother’s mother was an unwanted child
She got sent to her grandparents, I hope they cared for her
She wrote letters to her absent father
That I’m not sure got sent
They asked questions like “Daddy do you love me?”
Which is a question no daughter should ever have to ask
They had little drawings of flowers and families and houses along the border
My mother’s mother is not around but if she was around she wouldn’t have to ask me if I loved her
I never met you but I love you, Donna
You're an angel in heaven
