You with your big blue eyes
You with your big surprise
You with your "I don't know"s
You with your mismatched clothes
Chasin the kitty cat
Tiptoe and pitter pat
Hiding 'neath the kitchen chair
Sleepin with a teddy bear
You sittin at the breakfast table wearing two different shoes
I, I wish that I could be like you
And when we're jumpin on the bed
Jump jump jumpin up and down
It seems like such great bliss
Makes me wonder if
A grownup like me could ever feel like this
You with your funny smile
You with your certain style
You when you play pretend
You know you're my best friend
You sing a bit off key
You say "Hey look at me!"
How I wish that this could last
But you're growing up so fast
And I love your silly expressions
And your different point of view
And I, I wish that I could be like you
And when we're walking down the street
Walk walk walkin hand in hand
We're having so much fun and when the day is done
I tell you I'm so glad you're my son
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
C'mon boys!
La la la la la
La la la la la la
You're quite extraordinary and it's absolutely true that I,
I wish that I could be like you
I wish that I could be like you
I wish that I could be like you.
