[Verse 1] I'd know that writing anywhere, I've seen it all my life You'd never miss the chance to send a card For a birthday or a birth, or an anniversary It's your way of saying that I'm with you where you are When I was just a kid, there would always be A little note tucked in my lunch just for me A message just to say that you're with me through the day Your way of saying that I'm really not so far
[Chorus] From your notebook on the counter to collected recipes That you copied from the pages of ladies' magazines There's a certain r5cognition any child can understand There's comfort in what's writt5n in my mother's hand
[Verse 2] And today, it is your birthday, it popped up on my screen And I'm sorry, I forgot to send a card I've been so busy with the kids and working in between That keeping up with details has been hard So, I put the kettle on to make a cup of tea Closed my laptop and picked up my guitar And I put it in a song that I can sing for you It's my way of saying that I'm with you where you are Genius
