I once dance to a song
with my drunkin daddy
even though he was drunk
he sang me a song
"Just The Way You Are"
I will never forget that night
for as i long as i live
because even drunk he told me ,
something that no man has yet to say
To be myself and he wanted me just the way i was!
He did'nt want me to change
(although i did with every man ,but him)
He tryed to teach me something
by singing me that song
i should have listened intently .
Now at forty one
I understand why
Love pure love knows who you are
and would love who you are.
(The words to the song)
By Billy Joel
"Just The Way You Are"
Just the Way You Are
Don't go changing, to try and please me
You never let me down before
I don't imagine you're too familiar
And I don't see you anymore
I wouldn't leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far
I took the good times, I'll take the bad times
I'll take you just the way you are
Don't go trying some new fashion
Don't change the color of your hair
You always have my unspoken passion
Although I might not seem to care
I don't want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are.
I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
What will it take till you believe in me
The way that I believe in you.
I said I love you and that's forever
And this I promise from the heart
I could not love you any better
I love you just the way you are.
