She's in the kitchen at the crack of dawn
|
Bacon's on, coffee's strong
|
Kids running wild, taking off their clothes
|
If she's a nervous wreck, well it never shows
|
Takes one to football and one to dance
|
Hits the Y for aerobics class
|
Drops by the bank, stops at the store
|
Has on a smile when I walk through the door
|
The last to go to bed, she'll be the first one up
|
And I thought I was tough
|
|
[Chorus]
|
She's strong, pushes on, can't slow her down
|
She can take anything life dishes out
|
There was a time
|
Back before she was mine
|
When I thought I was tough
|
|
We sat there five years ago
|
The doctors let us know
|
The test showed
|
She'd have to fight to live, I broke down and cried
|
She held me and said it's gonna be alright
|
She wore that wig to church
|
Pink ribbon pinned there on her shirt
|
No room for fear, full of faith
|
Hands held high singing Amazing Grace
|
Never once complained, refusing to give up
|
And I thought I was tough
|
|
[Chorus]
|
She's strong, pushes on, can't slow her down
|
She can take anything life dishes out
|
There was a time
|
Back before she was mine
|
When I thought I was tough
|
|
She's a gentle word, the sweetest kiss
|
A velvet touch against my skin
|
I've seen her cry, I've seen her break
|
But in my eyes, she'll always be strong
|
|
There was a time
|
Back before she was mine
|
When I thought I was tough
|
