Phillips, Craig And Dean - I Want to Be Just Like You lyrics

He climbs in my lap for a goodnight hug He calls me Dad and I call him Bub With his faded old pillow, a bear named Pooh He snuggles up close and says, "I want to be like you" I tuck him in bed and I kiss him goodnight Trippin' over the toys as I turn out the light I whisper a prayer that someday he'll see He's got a father in God 'cause he's seen Jesus in me Lord, I want to be just like You 'Cause he wants to be just like me Want to be a holy example For his innocent eyes to see Help me be a living Bible, Lord That my little boy can read I want to be just like You 'Cause he wants to be like me 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 Your 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 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 Help me be a living Bible, Lord That my little boy can read I want to be just like You 'Cause he wants to be like me 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 Lord, I want to be just like You 'Cause he wants to be just like me Want to be a holy example For his innocent eyes to see Help me be a living Bible, Lord That my little boy can read I want to be just like You 'Cause he wants to be like me I want to be just like You 'Cause he wants to be like me
