Lyrics
JUST LIKE HER MOTHER
See that girl, she’s almost 5
With curly hair and playful eyes
Swinging in a tire up in a tree
She’s a gentle soul and so alive
She doesn’t know that people die
When I call, I know she’ll run to me
‘Cause I know little things that always thrill her
And there’s something in her face that’s so familiar
She’s just like her mother
Who’s just like her daughter
One’s my little girl
One’s my wife
She’s just like her mother
Who’s just like her daughter
And I’m double-blessed – to walk with them- through my life
See that girl she’s 35
Auburn hair and chestnut eyes
Swaying to song on the stereo
Never seen her hold a grudge
Quick to laugh, and slow to judge
When she smiles, she just seems to glow
And I know little things that always thrill her
And there’s something in her face that’s so familiar
She’s just like her daughter
Who’s just like her mother
One’s my little girl
One’s my wife
She’s just like her daughter
Who’s just like her mother
And I’m double-blessed – to walk with them- through my life
From the minute I met my wife
I knew that I was sold
Call it a miracle, call it what you want
But, it feels like finding gold
Now the best of her and some of me
Carries on in a little girl’s soul
So bring on the future
Cause I’m okay with growing old
