Chorus: I'm gonna hold on - 'cause what i believe in is so strong no matter how long, no one can tell me i'm wrong - i ain't goin' down
I had a baby at fifteen - daddy never did forgive me i never heard from the guy again i had to drop outta high school - everybody treated me so cruel but i didn't give in and give her away
(Repeat Chorus)
Her smile got me through the day - and every night i'd pray i can give her enough at night i'd lie awake and cry - hopin' we get by 'cause you can't live on love
I work night and day to keep us goin' through the sweat and tears without her knowin' it was worth it just to watch her grow oh, oh, at least i was able to hold her whenever she needed my shoulder i'm so glad i never let her go
(Repeat Chorus)
Her smile got me through the years - dried away the tears and filled me with hope at night i'd lay awake and cry - prayed we would get by and for the courage to cope oh, oh, oh
Instrumental Solo
Her smile got me through the day - and every night i'd pray i could give her enough
