►LYRICS - Take Me The Way I Am
If you were falling then I would catch you
You need a light and I'd find a match
'Cause I love the way you say good morning
An' you take me the way I am

If you are chilly, here take my sweater
Your head is aching, I'll make it better
'Cause I love the way you call me baby
An' you take me the way I am

I'll buy you Rogaine* when you start losin' all your hair
Sew on patches to all you tear
'Cause I love you more than I could ever promise
An' you take me the way I am

Oh, an' I love you more than I could ever promise
An' you take me the way I am
Yes, you take me the way I am

Saw them perform at The Little Opry in Branson on Tuesday with our 11 and 6 year old grandkids. It was an awesome performance with all of their best songs! The kids wanted to go back the next day. Katie posed for a photo with the grandkids after the show. Total class act.

The three girls singing together is angelic, calming, and smooth like butter. A very rare quality to hear these days. God has blessed them and blessed us through them. Beautiful. Thank you Petersens.
