Let me tell you 'bout a lady that I know Who stood tall and proud beside me Down many a dead end road Never asking more than I could give And never once complaining About the way we had to live
Well she never showed a sign of losing hope Though a million dreams and promises Have all gone up in smoke She hides her disappointment out of love And if I laid the whole world at her feet It wouldn't be enough
She's the rock I lean on through it all Everytime I stumble Everytime I fall And though she's never shown it I've known it from the start Everytime I fall it breaks her heart Everytime I fall It breaks her heart
Now let me tell you about the million silent tears I've found hidden on her pillow In the mornings through the years Somehow I'm still a hero in her eyes But to tell the truth I can't give you one good reason why
She's the rock I lean on through it all Everytime I stumble Everytime I fall And though she's never shown it I've known it from the start Everytime I fall it breaks her heart Everytime I fall It breaks her heart
