Some one like you makes the heart seem the lighter,
Some one like you makes the day's work worth while,
Some one like you makes the sun shine the brighter,
Some one like you makes a sigh half a smile.
Life's an odd pattern of briers and roses,
Clouds sometimes darken, nor sun shining through,
Then the cloud lifts and the sun light discloses
Near to me, dear to me--Some one like you.

[Illustration]

[Illustration]

Some one like you who stands steadfastly near me,
Knows me and likes me for just what I am,
Some one like you who knows just how to cheer me,
Some one who's real without pretense or sham.
Some one whose fellowship isn't a fetter
Binding my freedom--who's loyal all through,
Some one whose life in this world makes it better,
Blest to me, best to me--Some one like you.

[Illustration]

Some one like you who's the same Day and Morrow,
Firm as a rock and square as a die,
Some one who's steadfast in joy or in sorrow,
Some one who's dearer
