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
 Everytime I stumble
 Everytime I fall
 And though she's never shown it
 I've known it from the start
 Everytime I fall it breaks her heart
 Everytime I fall
 It breaks her heart

 Now 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
 Everytime I stumble
 Everytime I fall
 And though she's never shown it
 I've known it from the start
 Everytime I fall it breaks her heart
 Everytime I fall
 It breaks her heart
