Not Perfect
Words and Music by Althea M. Bakke-Lysaker

I知 longing for a way to say I love you
I知 looking for a way to say I care
Will you love me when I fail you?
Will you love me when I fail to understand?

I know I知 not a very perfect friend
I know I make a lot of mistakes
I壇 hoped you壇 understand
Will you tell me how to better love you?
Will you tell me when I don稚 understand?

Chorus
I need to know you値l stand by me
I need to know you値l pray for me
I need to know you値l love me for me...
Cause I really, really love you
I really, really love you
I really, really... love... you.

I wish I could share with you the gifts I see
I wish I could take you by the hand
Will you show me how to be a better friend?
Will you walk alongside me till the end?

I want to hold you with an open hand
I want to release His love to you
I want to be a friend to you...
Will you be patient as I learn to love you?
Will you be a friend to me? Tell me you understand...

Chorus
I need to know you値l stand by me
I need to know you値l pray for me
I need to know you値l love me for me...
Cause I really, really love you
I really, really love you
I really, really... love... you
