Lyrics
THE STRONG ONE (Cyril Rawson/Byron Hill)
Lynne Taylor Donovan
1.
I know you well and I believe
You've got the strength, to do most anything
And every time, I'm in your arms
I know I'm somewhere, that's safe from harm, but
Chorus
You don't have to be the strong one all the time
Let me be the one you lean on, ease your mind
It's not you against the world all alone
I'm here by your side
You don't have to be the strong one every day
Let me do my part, don't carry all the weight
Just remember you've got me
You don't always have to be...the strong one
2.
You hide your pain, so well from view
But that's one thing, that you don't have to do
You cry inside, where no one sees
I'll dry those tears, if you just let me
Chorus
You don't have to be the strong one all the time
Let me be the one you lean on, ease your mind
It's not you against the world all alone
I'm here by your side
You don't have to be the strong one every day
Let me do my part, don't carry all the weight
Just remember you've got me
You don't always have to be...the strong one
OUT
Just remember you've got me
You don't always have to be...the strong one
