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 [Chorus:] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Chorus]
