  • I'd race to meet you at the top of the stairs
    You'd come from working, you were always there for me
    You'd scare the nightmares, singing me an old song
    You'd learn in Oshkosh [?], you were always there for me
    But what was it like to be you?

    You said, I could never see what passing judgment
    On anybody else would ever do for me
    But I love that you see the things that you couldn't see
    You showed me how to live

    My dance recitals, they were never concise
    You never missed one, you were always there for me
    You told me softly that I had what it takes
    To make it anywhere, you were always there for me
    Well, what was it like to be you?

    You said, I could never see what passing judgment
    On anybody else would ever do for me
    But I love how you see the things that you couldn't see
    You showed me how to die

    What was it like to be you?
    You said, I could never see what passing judgment
    On anybody else would ever do for me
    Well, I love how you see the things that you couldn't see
    You showed me how to see
    And what to look for in a man
    And what to look for in a man
    And what to look for in a man

    I'd race to meet you at the top of the stairs
    You'd come from working, you were always there for me Writer/s: Joan Wasser
