Just Like You

It’s just like you to take the harder road
To make our house a home
To make sure I never felt alone
It’s just like you to see the best in me
To make me believe that I could do anything
And you never let a day go by
Without taking the time
To show me how much you loved me
Thank you, thank you for the very best you had
For always understanding
Thank you not just for what you said
But it’s the way you lived that makes me want to be
Just like you
It’s just like you to fall down on your knees
Crying father won’t you please
Take my little boy and make him so much more
Than I could ever be
Won’t you teach him to look to you for all you’ll ever need
And be just like you, just like you
Thank you, thank you for the very best you had
For always understanding
Thank you not just for what you said
But it’s the way you lived that makes me want to be
Just like you
All I desire
Is to follow in your footsteps for the rest of my life
So one day when I have a son of my own
I pray that he will see in me all I see in you
And I’ll hear him say
Thank you, thank you for the very best you had
For always understanding
Thank you not just for what you said
But it’s the way you lived that makes me want to be
Just like you
