"Like My Own" lyrics

No, you weren't on my mind
Never a dream I had
I never knew I needed you
Until I met your dad
I was terrified
What do step mom's do?
But now that I have you in my life
There's no life without you

Oh god bless your mama
She's one hell of a woman
Being tough enough
To share you with me

I ain't trying to fill her shoes
Just giving you another pair
And as long as you let me baby
I promise ill be there
You brought out a part of me
That I've never known
You ain't mine but baby I'm yours
And I'll love you
Like my own

No, you don't have my eyes
My bones or my blood
But even if you did it would be
The same kind of love
And one day I'll find the words
To thank your mom
For giving me a gift
I never deserved to see grow up

I ain't trying to fill her shoes
Just giving you another pair
And as long as you let me baby
I promise ill be there
You brought out a part of me
That I've never known
You ain't mine but baby I'm yours
And I'll love you
Like my own

I went and tripped and I fell in love with your daddy's smile
And now I get to see two of them as I'm walking down the aisle

You brought out a part of me
That I've never known
You ain't mine but baby I'm yours
And I'll love you
Like my own
