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
