lyrics

I still think of when they showed me how to build and fly a kite And that summer evening when I learned to ride a two wheeled bike They'd climb the highest hills just to get a better view They showed me how to see a girl like you
He taught me how to bait a hook and how to light a fire
And all the things to look for in someone you might hire And she knew all of the-places where the best blueberries grew And what to say to a girl like you

A girl like yo They taught me all the things that I should do
Should I ever meet a girl like you

We've been saving for the rain, home cookin' and mending shirts We know the value of a dollar and of an honest word And even when we fight I know you speak the truth
Then it turns into a laugh with a girl like you

I still remember our first date back when we were young
And the feeling as I drove you home and knew you were the one
I waited 'til you were inside, safe and out of view
Something I knew about a girl like you

A girl like you
They taught me of the things that I should do
Should I ever meet a girl like you

We've got a son who's growing fast with all the changes in the world
And sometimes I get worried and I cry a little too
But he's got a gentle heart, I hope he learned a thing or
And does alright by a girl like you

A girl like you
How did I ever stumble into
A girl like you
They thought me of the things I should do
Should I ever meet a girl like you
