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
