Lyrics

A Little Painted Stone

Verse#1
Two weeks before her birthday
Her son ran into her room
With a smile that spread across his cheeks
He said I know it's kinda soon
But I've been workin' real hard
On a gift I hope you'll like
As he placed her present in her hands
Tears fell from her eyes
When she saw

Chorus:
A little painted stone
With a deep blue midnight sky
Filled with stars and a quarter moon
And the words that he inscribed
I love you more

Verse#2:
Two weeks before his wedding
She couldn't stop her tears
She kept looking at his photographs
And wondered how time disappeared
Her son became a young man
Not just her little guy
Her heart broke as she thought of letting go
Tears fell down from her eyes
When she saw

Chorus:
A little painted stone
With a deep blue midnight sky
Filled with stars and a quarter moon
And the words that he inscribed
I love you more

Bridge:
Years passed by and his mom grew weak
Then he got the call one night
When he tried to hold his mothers hand
He found her clutching tight
To that?

Chorus:
Little painted stone
With a deep blue midnight sky
Filled with stars and a quarter moon
And the words that he inscribed
I love you more

A little painted stone?.
