Now, May and I were two children just swimming in a pool
We'd ride on rockets, swing-sets and we tried to touch the moon
And I will never forget the first time she touched my hand

I knew this could be the one who would make me an honest man

She was like the way she was

She was like the way she was

Now, we got older faster than we ever could have seen

Lights went down on graduation then on a wedding ring
We bought our first house and had a baby on the way
But during birth, I got my daughter

Jesus took away my May

And I didn't know how to say what I felt

No, I didn't know how to say what it felt like

She was just like she was

When you looked into her eyes you'd come undone
She was just like she was
She could love you on your worst day

And didn't care about the mistakes
She was like she was


Now, baby girls love daddy most
But they need a mother's care
I tried my best to raise her right

I just couldn't braid her hair
One day she got old enough to have her wedding day
But as I walked her down the aisle

All I could see was my May

And I didn't know how to say what I felt

No, I didn't know how to say what it felt like

She was just like she was

When you looked into her eyes you'd see the sun
She was just like she was
She could love you on your worst day

And didn't care about the mistakes
She was like she was


But May, I hope you can see what I see
'Cause when they talk about our baby girl they think of you
And they say to me


She's just like she was
When I looked into her eyes I'd see the sun

She was just like she was
She could love you on your worst day
And doesn't care about the mistakes

She was like she was

She was just like she was

When I looked into her eyes I'd come undone
She was just like she was
And I cannot feel my heart beat

Without the thought of her inside me
She was like she was
