Bilingual
She's in the kitchen at the crack of dawn
Bacon's on, coffee's strong
Kids runnin' wild, takin' 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 tests 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
ย
There was a time, back before she was mine
When I thought I was tough
