Stephanie Quayle - Like She Is

I was cooking in the kitchen
She was watching our tv
It was a Wednesday
When they called me

There's been an accident
You better come quickly
Put her in the backseat
And drove like I had wings

Policeman stopped us
From running on the runway
Her daddy didn’t make it
Two hearts with a hard break

I didn't get there
In enough time
For her to say goodbye
And as I gave her
To her mother
I vowed the rest of my life
To always pick up thе phone, be a friend
Promisе her I'll never leave her like he did
Yeah, she isn’t my daughter
But I love her like she is
Now we're going on twelve years
She's twenty-four with a boyfriend
I got myself a husband
But that don't change nothing
She's painting her story
And I'm writing mine
We'll never forget, what happened that night

I didn't get there
In enough time
For her to say goodbye
And as I gave her
To her mother
I vowed the rest of my life
To always pick up the phone, be a friend
Promise her I’ll never leave her like he did
Yeah, she isn’t my daughter
But I love her like she is

Sometimes there's people
Who might not be blood
But that don’t change a damn thing
If it's love then it's love

I didn't get there
In enough time
For her to say goodbye
And as I gave her
To her mother
I vowed the rest of my life
To always pick up the phone, be a friend
Promise her I’ll never leave her like he did
But she isn't my daughter
But I love her like she is
Yeah, I love her like she is
