Stronger Than I Am

(альбом: I Hope You Dance - 2000)

Things around here haven't changed much
It's all pretty much the same stuff
Day after day
The only thing that keeps me goin seems to be our baby girl I'm tryin to raise
She's my life, my mornin angel
Always seems to find the rainbow after the rain
Lately she's so busy growin, I don't even think she knows you've gone away

She finally learned to say goodbye
She's sleepin through the night
She don't wake up cryin
And she's walkin on her own
She don't need no one holding to her hand
And I hate to admit
She's stronger than I am

She ain't crackin under pressure
First one step and then another
She goes along
And if she falls and skins her knee
She cries a while and smiles at me, and just goes on
So many things that she can teach me
Full of life and so completely innocent
She still says she loves her daddy
Goes on just like nothin happened
Forgives and forgets

She finally learned to say goodbye
She's sleepin through the night
She don't wake up cryin
And she's walkin on her own
She don't need no one holding to her hand
And I hate to admit
She's stronger than I am

She's just like her old man
Stronger than I am
