I'm Gonna Be Strong

Del Shannon · Other Songs - Del Shannon

I can see

You're slipping away from me

And you're so afraid

That I'll plead with you to stay

But I'm gonna be strong

And let you go your way



Love is gone

There's no sense in holding on

And your pity now

Would be more than I could bare

But I'm gonna be strong

And pretend I don't care



I'm gonna be strong

And stand as tall as I can

I'm gonna be strong

And let you go along

And take it like a man



When you say it's the end

I'll hand you a line

I'll smile and say

Don't you worry I'm fine

But you'll never know darling

After you kiss me goodbye

How I'll break down and cry
