Now, May and I were two children just swimming in a pool

We'd ride on rocket swingsets and we'd try to touch the moon

And I will never forget the first time she touched my hand

I knew this could be the one who would make me an honest man

She was like the way she was

She was like the way she was

Now, we got older faster than we ever could have seen

Lights went down on graduation then on a wedding ring

We bought our first house and had a baby on the way

But during birth, I got my daughter, Jesus took away my May

And I didn't know how to say what I felt

No, I didn't know how to say what it felt like

She was just like she was

When you looked into her eyes, you'd come undone

She was just like she was

She could love you on your worst day

And didn't care about the mistakes

She was like she was

Now, baby girls love daddy most, but they need a mother's care

I tried my best to raise her right, I just couldn't braid her hair

One day, she got old enough to have her wedding day

But as I walked her down the aisle, all I could see was my May

And I didn't know how to say what I felt

No, I didn't know how to say what it felt like

She was just like she was

When you looked into her eyes, you'd see the sun

She was just like she was

She could love you on your worst day

And didn't care about the mistakes

She was like she was

But May, I hope you can see what I see

'Cause when they talk about our baby girl, they think of you and they say to me

She's just like she was

When I looked into her eyes, I'd see the sun

She was just like she was

She could love you on your worst day

And doesn't care about the mistakes

She was like she was

She was just like she was

When I looked into her eyes, I'd come undone

She was just like she was

And I cannot feel my heart beat

Without the thought of her inside me

She was like she was
