He climbs in my lap for a goodnight hug
He calls me dad and I call him bug
Faded old pillow and a bear named pooh
He snuggles up close and says, "I wanna be like you"I tuck him in bed
and I kiss him goodnight
Trippin� over the toys as I turn out the light
And I whisper a prayer that maybe someday he�ll see
He�s got a Father in God �cause he�s seen Jesus in me
Chorus:
Lord I want to be just like you 'cause he wants to be just like me
I want to be a holy example for his innocent eyes to see (learning from
the father)
Help me be a living Bible, Lord that my little boy can read
I wanna be just like you 'cause he wants to be like me
I�ve got to admit I�ve got so far to go
Make so many mistakes and I�m sure that you know
Sometimes it seems no matter how hard I try
With all the pressures in life, I just can�t get it all right
But I�m trying so hard to learn from the best
Being patient and kind filled with you tenderness
Cause I know that he�ll learn from the things that he sees
And the Jesus he finds will be the Jesus in me
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
Right now from where he stands I may seem mighty tall
But it�s only cause I�m learning from the best Father of them all
Repeat Chorus
I want to be just like you
'Cause he wants to be like me |
