Just Like You - Anthony Evans

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
