Let me tell you 'bout a lady that I know   Who stood tall and proud beside me down many a dead end road   Never asking more than I could give   And never once complaining about the way we had to live      Well, she never showed a sign of losing hope   Though a million dreams and promises have all gone up in smoke   She hides her disappointment out of love   And if I laid the whole world at her feet it wouldn't be enough      She's the rock I lean on through it all   Every time I stumble, every time I fall   And though she's never shown it I've known it from the start   Every time I fall, it breaks her heart   Every time I fall, it breaks her heart      And let me tell you about the million silent tears   I've found hidden on her pillow in the mornings through the years   Somehow I'm still a hero in her eyes   But to tell the truth I can't give you one good reason why      She's the rock I lean on through it all   Every time I stumble, every time I fall   And though she's never shown it I've known it from the start   Every time I fall, it breaks her heart   Every time I fall, it breaks her heart
