I Want To Be Just Like You lyrics

E A E A

E
He climbs in my lap for a goodnight hug
C#m
He calls me Dad and I call him Bub
B
With his faded old pillow and a bear named Pooh
F#m B E A
He snuggles up close and says, "I want to be like you"
E
I tuck him in bed and I kiss him goodnight
C#m
Trippin' over the toys as I turn out the light
B
And I whisper a prayer that someday he'll see
F#m B
He's got a father in God 'cause he's seen Jesus in me


A B
Lord, I want to be just like You
E
'Cause he wants to be just like me
A B
I want to be a holy example
A B E
For his innocent eyes to see
A B
Help me be a living Bible, Lord
C#m B A
That my little boy can read
F#m
I want to be just like You
B E A
'Cause he wants to be like me

F
Got to admit I've got so far to go
Dm
Make so many mistakes and I'm sure that you know
C
Sometimes it seems no matter how hard I try
Gm C F Bb
With all the pressures in life I just can't get it all right
F
But I'm trying so hard to learn from the best
Dm
Being patient and kind, filled with Your tenderness
C
'Cause I know that he'll learn from the things that he sees
Gm C
And the Jesus he finds will be the Jesus in me

Bb C
Lord, I want to be just like You
F
'Cause he wants to be just like me
Bb C
I want to be a holy example
Bb C F
For his innocent eyes to see
Bb C
Help me be a living Bible, Lord
Dm C Bb
That my little boy can read
Gm
I want to be just like You
C F
'Cause he wants to be like me

Ab Bb Ab Bb Ab Bb Ab
Right now from where he stands I may seem mighty tall
Bb C D
But it's only 'cause I'm learning from the best Father of them all

G C D
Lord, I want to be just like You
G
'Cause he wants to be just like me
C D
I want to be a holy example
C D G
For his innocent eyes to see
C D
Help me be a living Bible, Lord
Em D C
That my little boy can read

I want to be just like You
D G
'Cause he wants to be like me
Am
I want to be just like You
D G
'Cause he wants to be like me
