May (Durbin James)

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
