A Little More Like You

(album: A Little On The Windy Side - 1979)

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
