You're Stronger Than Me

Patsy Cline · Blue Moon Of Kentucky [2006]

(Written by Hank Cochran and Jimmy Key)

(As performed by Patsy Cline)



If you are sincere

When you say you don't care

That our love is just a memory.

If the love that we knew

Won't bother you

Darlin', you're stronger than me.



Chorus:

For if still lovin' you means I'm weak

Then I'm weak

For I still, fall apart when we speak

Or we meet.

If the love that we knew

Won't bother you

Darlin', you're stronger than me.



--- Instrumental ---



If you can have fun

With some other one

With no thought of what used to be.

If it's easy to say

That it's better this way

Darlin', you're stronger than me.



Chorus:

For if still lovin' you means I'm weak

Then I'm weak

For I still fall apart when we speak

Or we meet.

If the love that we knew

Won't bother you

Darlin', you're stronger than me...
