Just Like You (Written by: Megan Ward)
Written by my then teenage daughter (she's 23 now). She threw it in the trash and I dug it out and worked a little magic on it. A must hear for mothers/daughters. The things they often want to say.....but often we don't get to hear as mothers.
Just me and my piano
It's just me, my piano, some good friends who love to jam for the Lord.
Story behind the song
Written by my then teenage daughter (she's 23 now). She threw it in the trash and I dug it out and worked a little magic on it. A must hear for mothers/daughters. The things they often want to say.....but often we don't get to hear as mothers. I Love You Megan!!!
Lyrics
Verse 1
It's just 3 months until graduation, she's getting her cap and gown
Planning her big celebration, for how she's turned out, and
I start to cry, because I don't wanna let her go, cause she's my baby girl
But she says I want you to know
Chorus
That you, mean, everything to me
And you've, shown me, just what I can be
I can be strong, I can be tough, but when I think I've had enough
You are there for me, and you wipe my tears away
I wanna be just like you
Verse 2
When I look into the mirror, and I don't like what I see
She sees me so much clearer, than what I claim to be
She says I'm beautiful and wise, with a heart that's made of gold
She can see past my faults, and she says
I need you to know
Chorus
That you mean everything to me
And you've shown me, just what I can be
I can be strong, I can be tough, but when I think I've had enough
You are there for me and you wipe my tears away, oh mama
I wanna be just like you
Bridge
Even when you punish me I know it's for my own good, yeah
And everynight I close my eyes, I thank the Lord above, because
(repeat chorus to end)
