Strong Heart

Patty Loveless · Strong Heart [2000]

(Emory Gordy - Kris Tyler)



Everybody's had the blues days when it comes undone

This really shouldn't bother me

I know I'm not the only one to break down and cry

I don't know why it has to be so hard.



I could've left this road I'm on turned around a thousand times

Surrender to the great unknown

Give up and leave it all behind but this is my dream

My life and everything I pray for.



Chorus:

It takes a strong heart to see love through

It takes a lot of faith, more than I ever knew

To cry and never let it show, to hold on tight and not let go

It takes a strong heart, a strong heart and you.



I keep it hidden deep inside

It's just a phase I'm going through

I'll show the world a pretty face

But I'm not really fooling you.



'Cause you know how I feel, you know how to heal

This wounded pride.



Chorus:

It takes a strong heart to see love through

It takes a lot of faith, more than I ever knew

To cry and never let it show, to hold on tight and not let go

It takes a strong heart, a strong heart and you.



I don't know what I'd do without you

I couldn't do this alone

You give me faith and hope

And the courage to carry on and on, oh



Chorus:

It takes a strong heart to see love through

It takes a lot of faith, more than I ever knew

To cry and never let it show, to hold on tight and not let go

It takes a strong heart, a strong heart and you.



Strong heart and you on and on, strong heart and you...
