She's in the kitchen at the crack of dawn Bacon's on, coffee's strong Kids running wild, taking off their clothes If she's a nervous wreck, well, it never shows Takes one to football and one to dance Hits the Y for aerobics class Drops by the bank, stops at the store Has on a smile when I walk through the door The last to go to bed; she'll be the first one up And I thought I was tough She's strong, pushes on; can't slow her down She can take anything life dishes out There was a time Back before she was mine When I thought I was tough We sat there five years ago The doctors let us know; the test showed She'd have to fight to live; I broke down and cried She held me and said it's gonna be alright She wore that wig to church Pink ribbon pinned there on her shirt No room for fear, full of faith Hands held high singing Amazing Grace Never once complained, refusing to give up And I thought I was tough She's strong, pushes on; can't slow her down She can take anything life dishes out There was a time Back before she was mine When I thought I was tough She's a gentle word, the sweetest kiss A velvet touch against my skin I've seen her cry, I've seen her break But in my eyes she'll always be strong There was a time Back before she was mine When I thought I was tough
