"Just Like You" lyrics

"Just Like You"

I wish that you could see her now, in the right light she looks just like you
The way her lip curls when she smiles, got your name and your attitude
She asks about you all the time, at the age where she asks a lot
Show her pictures of you holding her, "Who's that?" I just smile and nod

I wish you could see the person that she's growing into
I wish you could see the things that bring a smile to her face
I wish she could sit around and ask you all these questions
I wish she could get to know more than just your name

We were a handful, that's for certain
Always standing on your last nerve
She's a spitfire, an outright heathen
You always get the one you deserve

Sometimes it's down right scary
They broke the mold when they made you two
That Miller comes out when she's angry
Force of nature just like you

I wish you could see the person that she's growing into
I wish you could see the things that bring a smile to her face
I wish she could sit around and ask you all these questions
I wish she could get to know more than just your name

She'd ask if we can stop to visit, every time that we come back home
Her little fingers trace the divots, of her last name carved in stone
When I see her, I see the women that taught me everything they knew
I wish that you could see her now, in the right light she looks just like you
