| 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 |
