Love You Like I Did

Though your body is not of my body

Nor your blood of my blood

Though your story began long before me

All that matters is love

I could not have held you first for I did not yet exist

I may not have held you first but I love you like I did

It's the time that's still to come, not the time that I have missed

I may not have held you first but I love you like I did

Though our eyes are not the same colour

Nor our name the same name

You grow older and more like your mother

I will love you the same

I could not have held you first for I did not yet exist

I may not have held you first but I love you like I did

It's the time that's still to come, not the time that I have missed

I may not have held you first but I love you like I did

I will hold your heart, hold it steady

I will hold your heart when life gets heavy

I will hold your heart, hold it steady

I will hold your heart

I could not have held you first for I did not yet exist

I may not have held you first but I love you like I did

It's the time that's still to come, not the time that I have missed

I may not have held you first but I love you like I did

I may not have held you first but I love you like I did

I'll hold you steady, I'll hold you steady

I'll hold you steady, I'll hold you steady
