A Little More Like You

Though I've not told you

By now you should know

I'm warmed by your smile

And your own special glow

Given just one wish

I thought might come true

I'd like to be a little more like you

Have you forgotten

The time and the thought

Traditions and lessons

So lovingly taught

I never told you

'Cause I thought you knew

I'd like to be a little more like you

Yours is a magic

That touches my soul

Yours is a laugh

That makes old jokes sound new

Yours is the patience

The whole world has tried

I'd like to be a little more like you

If some sad morning

You find we must part

Carry this one thought

Alive in your heart

I never told you

But I swear it's true

I'd like to be a little more like you

I never told you

But I swear it's true

I'd like to be a little more like you
