This baby has my smile
hope he'll use it more than I do
and this child has my eyes
may they see him clearly through
I wonder how he'll talk
will he have the same slow drawl
I hope he won't be mad at me
when he's wishing he was tall

He's a lot like me
with his eyes so full of wonder
May his faith grow strong
so life won't pull him under
Hope he's like his mama
with a heart so strong and free
but Lord watch over this sweet child
cause he's a lot like me

He can thank his mama
for that perfect angel's face
maybe when the time comes
he'll have the same good taste
he's got her tiny turned up nose
and her warm little hands
I hope he's got her good sense
so one day he'll understand

He's a lot like me
with his eyes so full of wonder
May his faith grow strong
so life won't pull him under
Hope he's like his mama
with a heart so strong and free
but Lord watch over this sweet child
cause he's a lot like me

Bridge
Dear Lord, be his shepherd
let love always be his guide
hope one day he'll be standing here
with his eyes open just as wide

(Repeat Chorus)
