If I Could Only Be Like You

I know I haven't said the words the way I used to
I should have made the time I know
When I didn't know which way to turn, I'd turn to you
You always seem to know which way to go

You know you always seem to see the best in me
You stand by me no matter how things are
If I haven't told you lately how I feel
Let me tell you now what's in my heart

If I could only be like you
You always seem to see the good
And then you make a dream come true
And ask for nothing in return

You always know just what to do
You're someone I can look up to
I'd be a better me
If I could only be like you

You know you've always seen me through the worst of times
You have a way of lighting up the dark
And though we're sometimes far apart
Somehow I would cross the miles I still know you're never very far

You know you always seem to see the best in me
You stand by me no matter how things are
If I haven't told you lately how I feel
Let me tell you now what's in my heart

If I could only be like you
You always seem to see the good
And then you make a dream come true
And ask for nothing in return

You always know just what to do
You're someone I can look up to
I'd be a better me
If I could only be like you
